All,
Digital is always present during VAQP, but is in need of a boost. We will
endeavor to post spots of digital contacts on the www.qsoparty.com spotting
cluster to help everyone monitoring obtain more RTTY and PSK contacts this
year.

I'll be operating from the James River State Park in Buckingham County
for this year's QSO Party. My rig will be either my IC-7000 or my
IC-7100, my HF antenna will be a Carolina Windom 80, and I can do SSB or
CW on HF. I may put up a ground plane for 2 m and 70 cm FM, as well.

Gordon et. al.
The DX Cluster will be available again this year...
http://www.qsoparty.com/
...on both a traditional telnet service and a web page format.
This is not connected to any other cluster servers so contains very light
and VAQP specific traffic.

Gordon,
I figured I would write again to ask if you could post this to the
pre-party tidbits.
I'm getting excited for another Virginia QSO party and will be running a
mobile setup once again. This time I'll be based out of my home QTH
here in Pulaski and hopefully the car troubles that popped up last year
in southside VA won't happen again. I'm planning on activating some of
southwestern VA along I-81 and north of I-81 for the first day and then
take a tour along the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Floyd for the second
day. Here's some of the counties I'll be activating (or hope to be) from:
PUL, WYT, SMY, WAS, BRX, SCO, LEE, NRX, WIS, DIC, RUS, TAZ, BLA, RAX,
FLO, FRA, ROA, ROX, BOT, BED, RBR, AMH, BVX, LEX
I see from the tidbits that someone else may be in my area so maybe
we'll there will be two chances to get some of these counties!
Thanks again to all there in the club for organizing a great event.
73 and GL,
-Kevin, KJ4OAP
