I remember the 1977 IARU HF Championship as a replacement for the 1976 
bicentennial Celebration.  I don't recall what the last year of the CD 
parties were - perhaps 1975?  Somewhere I still have my old logs for 
this.  I would never miss a CD party - they were the best!  I did 
however love the Bicentennial Celebration and I really like the annual 
IARU HF Championships!

 Did the CD Parties continue up until 1991 when the NAQP's started, or 
was
there a gap?
