To New England radio clubs:<br><br>
<b>I'd appreciate your help in publicizing the upcoming <font size="4">New

</b><dd><b>New England QSO Party - May 4th and 5th<br><br>
</b>
</dd><dd>The NEQP 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.<br>
</dd><dd>We're working to make sure that all of the New England counties are
active again this year and would appreciate your help. Get on for
at least an hour or two and join in on the fun. Please let me know
if you can put in any time at all so we can work on activity from the
rarest counties. <b>Will you be QRV? Let us know
which county you'll be on from with a message to <a href="mailto:info@neqp.org">info@neqp.org</a><br><br>
</b>
</dd><dd>Oh yes, the NEQP is also <b>lots </b>of fun when mobile. Every
time you cross a county line the action starts over again.
It's amazing what a 100w radio and mobile whip can do. <br>
</dd><dd>The QSO Party is 20 hours long overall, in two sections with a
civilized break for sleep Saturday night. It goes from 4pm Saturday
until 1am Sunday, then 9am Sunday until 8pm Sunday. Operate on CW,
SSB and 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
makes 25 QSOs and sends in a log will get a certificate. <br>
</dd><dd>Last year we had logs from 166 New England stations and 387 more from
around the country and world. <br>
</dd><dd>The full NEQP rules are here ->

available) ->

</dd><dd><b>It's just a few weeksh until the 2019 NEQP. Please
make some QSOs even if you don't want to send in a log.<br><br></b>
