New England QSO Party, May 6–7

nv1w On the air

(via Tom Frenaye, K1KI.)

The New England QSO Party on May 6th and 7th 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 67 counties in New England on the air so we hope you will encourage your friends to join in the fun! Even if you can join us 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 at least 25 QSOs 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 871 stations from around the country and world. There were 295 stations from New England on the air!

The full rules are here: https://neqp.org/rules/

The full 2022 results were posted a couple of weeks ago: https://neqp.org/2022-new-england-qso-party/

This next weekend is the 2023 NEQP. Please get on and make some QSOs even if you don’t want to send in a log!
