California QSO Party: CQP Chairman Dean Wood N6DE

YouTube interview at this link: https://youtu.be/QTeYLbD5G1g

California QSO Party chairman Dean Wood N6DE is passionate about his state’s 
QSO party for good reason. With over 1200 submitted logs, the CQP easily tops 
the list of state QSO parties for participation. What’s their secret? Start 
with the fact that the CQP is sponsored by contesters - the Northern California 
Contest Club - making this one of the few QP’s run by a contest club. Their 
other unique characteristic is an Expedition class of operator (think “POTA 
meets Contester”) who fan out across California to activate even the hardest to 
get to counties. Non-California contesters have plenty of stations to log and 
many will work for a clean sweep of the 58 counties. Participants are split 
nearly equally between CW, Phone and Mixed Mode but, with no awards for single 
modes, those playing to win will operate mixed mode. Watch this interview with 
Dean N6DE to learn more about the upcoming October 7-8 2023 CQP and to see 
Dean's photo highlights from 2022.
