Greetings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wonder if you would forward the information below about the upcoming New England QSO Party (May 2+3)<\/strong> to the mailing list for your club and add it to your newsletter or Facebook page. The best way to get hams active and involved is to get them on the air in events like the NEQP or at the Field Dat Get On The Air(GOTA) station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many thanks and 73<\/strong> \u2013 Tom\/K1KI<\/p>\n\n\n\n The New England QSO Party<\/strong> on May 2nd and 3rh 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.<\/strong> \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/strong> <\/strong>info@neqp.org<\/a><\/strong>
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 (not FT-4\/8) 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 valid 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!<\/strong>
<\/strong>Last year we had logs from 214 New England stations and 493 more logs from around the country and world.
The full rules are here -> www.neqp.org\/rules<\/a>
The 2025 results are posted -> https:\/\/neqp.org\/2025-new-england-qso-party\/<\/a>
<\/a>It’s just under two weeks until the 2026 NEQP. Please make some QSOs even if you don’t want to send in a log!
<\/strong>Thanks!
