The 2002 Ohio QSO Party will be this Saturday, August 24, from 16Z (noon EDT)
to 04Z Sunday (Midnight EDT).
Full details are at the OQP Web site, www.mrrc.net/oqp
Several items of note:
This year we have added an out of state club competition. No great prizes,
but include your club name with your log and contribute to the glory of your
club.
Several logging programs have added OQP support. Writelog now has a module,
courtesy of Steve, N9OH, which is available at:

Free logging programs which support OQP include GenLog by W3KM, N1MM, and a
special demo version of NA. Links to all of these are available at the OQP
web site.
To promote high band activity, folks are encouraged to check 10 meters on the
hour of even GMT/EDT hours. If 15 meter conditions are like this past
weekend in NAQP, check 15 early and often. If the band seems to be in the
dumps, check it anyway on the hour of odd GMT/EDT hours. Keep in mind that
E-skip propagation can occur at any hour of this contest, so keep checking.
The Ohio QSO Party includes big activity from one of the biggest states, and
one of the best crew of mobile contesters of any state QSO party. We hope
you'll join us on Saturday!
