New England QSO Party, May 3–4

nv1w Announcements, Events, On the air

[From Tom Frenaye, K1KI.] BARC is planning to participate on Sunday, May 4 from Millennium Park in West Roxbury. For more information, see the bostonARC@groups.io mailing list or contact w1bos@arrl.net.

The New England QSO Party on May 3rd and 4th is a great time to check out antenna systems and offers a moderately paced opportunity to work new states and countries. You’ll find a wide variety of participants, from newcomers to experienced contesters, all interested in making contacts with New England stations.

Our goal is to get every one of the counties in New England on the air so we hope you will encourage your members to join in the fun! Even if you can only join the fun for a couple of hours, we’d appreciate it! Will you be QRV? Let us know with a message to info@neqp.org.

The New England QSO Party is 20 hours long overall, in two sections with a civilized break for sleep on Saturday night. It runs from 4 pm Saturday until 1 am Sunday, then 9 am Sunday until 8 pm Sunday. Operate on CW, SSB and/or digital modes on 80-40-20-15-10 meters. For each QSO you’ll give your callsign, a signal report and your county/state. Top scorers can earn a plaque and everyone who sends in a log with 25 QSOs or more will get a certificate. The goal is to work stations anywhere in the world—and their goal is to work New England stations, so you’ll be very popular!

Last year we had logs from 212 New England stations and 516 more logs from around the country and world.

The full rules are here: www.neqp.org/rules. The 2024 results were posted last weekend: https://neqp.org/2024-new-england-qso-party/.

It’s just under three weeks until the 2025 NEQP. Please make some QSOs even if you don’t want to send in a log!
