Picnic and PaQP

October 11, 2024

What is it

We schedule our fall picnic on the first day of the Pennsylvania QSO Party (PaQP).

About 10:00 am we meet at the carnival grounds of the PHVFC and set up the station. Members bring food of their choosing. We seem to eat all day but we want to get a couple operators fed early so they can start the contest at noon. Around dark we tear down.

The PaQP runs all weekend. The club just operates the first few hours. Many of our members continue the contest from their home stations.
