QSO PARTY CHALLENGE


QSO Party Map

The Challenge

The NAQCC QSO Party Challenge is our version of the State QSO Party Challenge where only QRP CW contacts count.

The Parties Have Just Begun

The QSO Party season is just getting started. The coming weekends are going to be busy with events.

Grab that Multiplier!

Even if you can't spend much time on a given weekend, fire up the rig long enough to grab two quick QSOs to earn the multiplier.

How to Participate

  • Work the QSO Parties. Rules differ slightly by state, so check those. Work at least two stations in each QSO Party.
  • Post a summary of your results for each QSO Party to the appropriate page on https://www.3830scores.com The links to the submittal forms are on the left side of the page in yellow.
  • Under “club” choose “other” and then type in NAQCC. If enough people do that we can get added to the pulldown menu. If you're already committed to another club, don't worry about it. It won't affect our friendly competition, but it's nice to get NAQCC some visibility.
  • Some QSO Parties lump CW together with digital or other modes. If that happens, send a note to QSO Party Challenge Manager Don VE3DQN at pix_email_donHekman (1K) and let him know that you worked strictly CW, or if mixed, how many of your contacts were CW.
  • Check the NAQCC Newsletter each month to see how everyone is doing.

Notes

  • Individual QSO Parties will do their own official scoring based on uploaded Cabrillo logs. We're just looking at the summary you post to 3830scores.
  • To participate, you must enter as a QRP station. You don't have to limit yourself to CW operation, but only those QSOs will count toward the NAQCC QSO Party Challenge.
