New York-time: Friday July 20th 10:00PM to 10:30PM EDST

Test your setup and messages, check propagation, have fun.
Usual NAQP exchange, bands and rules - but no logs or reporting.
A fun part of NAQP-RTTY is to form a "Team". Anyone can recruit a Team
of 2 to 5 single operators who will have their scores combined for a Team score.
Both individual and Team scores will be published in the National Contest
Journal
magazine. Teams must be registered before the start of the contest at the
Team Registration link on
