TEXAS QSO PARTY COMING SOON!!!
May 22nd and 23rd, 1999. That's before field day!!!!! Get warmed up and
ready for field day with a stint in the Texas QSO Party.
Last year showed strong positive signs of growth in this activity. Log
submissions more than doubled
the previous year and along with many more positive comments and inquiries
about this year. With sunspots up, Techs will have a "field day" on ten
meters and the Party has added a new category for
Novices and Techs.
Links to the rules and other information have been placed on many additional
websites including
The Florida Contest Group website.
With 254 counties in Texas, many county hunters will be on the prowl. Some
looking for low band
contacts while others are trying to achieve USA CA for the first time…or
second …or third. That makes
every Texas amateur radio operator "the hunted" especially if he /she is
mobile.
If you are not set up for mobile….organize a group and go multi op….a great
opportunity for Techs
with no H.F. gear to take a turn when it is time to go to ten meters!!!!!!!
Hint ..hint Invite a Tech/Novice to join your mobile operation and get them
hooked on mobiling, contesting, upgrading,etc…… Or set up a club activity and
use a fixed station setup.
Non Texas participants make note that there will NOT be the mythical
Armadillo County out there.
At this early date (early April 99) we have firm commitments from 15 mobiles
. Some of these were
not there last year and some of the regulars just haven't reported in yet…and
they will!!!!!
Mark your calendars…..May 22 and 23, 1999. Check the Texas DX Society
website. for complete
Rules……… <A HREF="http://wb5fnd.tech.uh.edu/~tdxs/">Texas DX Society</A>
