The North American QSO Party (NAQP) on RTTY will be Saturday February 28.
Please join the fun with a friendly contest exchange of Name and State (or
Province or Country).
Five bands, 10m to 80m, RTTY only, Maximum power of 100 watts.
Contacts and Multipliers count again on each band, so Hooray for 10m!
Single-op scores count up to 10 of the 12 hours, so you can have at least 2
hours off.
Single-ops have "traditional" and Assisted categories.
Rules, records, and past results at the National Contest Journal website:
