NAQP SSB Aug 2010

We're very happy to report that we have reserved the Lodge at Blue Mountain Estates for this year's event. Thanks to Pete, K6BFA for securing this site for us. This is the same facility we used for the CQ World Wide VHF contest last year, with great sucess.

Please be sure to mark your calendar with the dates and plan to come out and get in some operating time. It would be particularly good if we had a number of us planning on working the late hours from 10:00 PM until 2:00 AM.

Food - TBD

Please contact Pete Norloff, KG4OJT if you'd like to come out.

For those of us who haven't attended one of our NAQP operations before, we'll be setting up two radio stations with wire antennas in the trees. The contest begins at 2:00 PM on Saturday, August 21 and runs until 2:00 AM on Sunday, August 22nd.

We'll be making as many radio contacts as we comfortably can with more of an emphasis on getting people on the radio and having a good time than in squeezing out the last contact.

Stay tuned to the NAQP mailing list for planning and updates, or contact Pete Norloff, KG4OJT

Directions to the event are here. As a note for those who haven't been there, it's best to use the driving directions here than to rely on your GPS.

Rules for the contest are available here.

This event is being coordinated by Pete Norloff, KG4OJT. Email addresses are [call sign] at arrl.net. Please contact Pete if you're interested in participating.
