> Subject: [MRRC] Ohio QSO Party - New Awards for 2003 !
>
>
> It's now less than 3 days to the 2003 Ohio QSO Party. Already one of the top
> state QSO parties around, we're working to make it even better this year.
> 2003 is Ohio's Bicentennial, and the OQP is the prime on the air celebration
> of
> that anniversary.
>
> We're awarding additional plaques this year. We've now have plaques for:
>
> Top Out of State Single Op - High, Low, and QRP Power
> Top YL - Out of State
> Top YL - In Ohio
>
> As well as the previous plaques for top Ohio in:
>
> Single Op - High, Low, and QRP Power
> Multi-Operator (Multi-Multi)
> Mobile
> Club
>
> PLUS - STOP THE PRESSES - NEW AWARDS!!!
>
> A number of QSO parties offer prizes connected to something that state is
> known for. California gives out wine, Washington salmon. Florida, I believe,
> Geritol :-). Ohio is known for - - - the Dayton Hamvention!
>
> In honor of Ohio's 200th birthday, we will be giving a 2004 Hamvention ticket
> to five out of state OQP entrants drawn from a pool of those who make at
> least 200 valid QSOs in the 2003 OQP. For reference, last year there were
> exactly
> five who beat that number! And all five were in the low power category!
>
> Not wanting to limit the fun to serious participants, we are also awarding a
> Hamvention ticket to another five entrants drawn from a pool of those making
> at least 88 valid QSOs. Why 88? In honor of the 88 counties in Ohio. Those
> 88 QSOs do not have to be in all 88 counties - just 88 valid QSOs. And Ohio
> stations with 88 valid QSOs will be eligible for this drawing.
>
>
> Whether you are seriously competing for an award or not, you'll want to join
> us in a quick 12 hour contest featuring lots of in state activity and a great
> crew of mobile ops covering the entire state.
>
> Full OQP details at www.mrrc.net/oqp

> See you Saturday, August 23, from noon to midnight EDT!
