["Walter O'Brien, W2WJO" <w2wjo@walterobrien.com>]

ANNOUNCING THE FOURTH ANNUAL MID-ATLANTIC QSO PARTY

The fourth annual Mid-Atlantic QSO Party (MAQP) will run from  
Saturday May 12, 2007 at 1600 UTC until Sunday May 13, 2007 at 0400  
UTC. The MAQP is a an old-fashioned QSO Party focused on Delaware,  
Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia  
and Washington DC, but we encourage participants from around the  
world. Activity will be on all non-WARC amateur HF bands from 160 to  
10 meters, plus the 6, 2, 1.25, and .7 meters bands, all modes.

This year’s event has been shortened to 12 hours after much comment  
from participants, and we have moved it away from Mother’s Day for  
the first time. We hope these changes encourage participation in the  
original spirit of  a competitive challenge that anyone can enjoy.  
All stations are welcome –  single, multi, clubs, mobile, QRP –  as  
long as your power is limited to 200 watts.

The committee awards plaques and certificates for Top Score by  
category in each Mid-Atlantic state, and Top Score outside the  
region, Top Score DX, and Top Score VE, among others. Most popular  
contest logging software includes the MAQP. Visit the MAQP website at  
http://maqp.info for more details, rules, maps, submittal forms, etc.  
And please join our news reflector at http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/

If you, your group, or club would like to sponsor a plaque, please  
contact us as soon as possible while there are still some opportunities!

73,
