Ontario QSO Party OQP - 2008/04/12 08:02Info from Canada Contest: ------------------------------
Hello Contestors everywhere.
Theres just 7 days till the 2008 running of the Ontario QSO Party!!
This year marks the 11th year of the contest and runs this year on :
The third full weekend of April 1800Z April 19 to 0500Z April 20, and 1200Z to 1800Z April 20
A rule change this year will allow any station outside of Ontario that works 100 or more Ontario stations recieve a certificate for their effort. And any station inside Ontario that works 100 or more stations outside of Ontario will also recieve a certificate for their effort. Its a WIN - WIN situation!
To plan your operating schedule you can check the "who's going to be on" page at http://cco.ve3xd.com/oqp/who.htm the page is updated as soon as new stations announce their operating plans and will be updated right up to the day of the contest.
For FREE eay-to-use logging software designed SPECIFICALLY for the Ontario QSO Party go to http://www.ve3syb.ca/software/oqp/ This program will show you your running score during the contest with no guessing needed so you can see where you currently are or need to be to beat a record or place first in your State, Province, County or Country!
So set your clock , feed the dog, put out the cat and call in sick next Friday to tweak your antennas [ no I can't write you a note ].
Good luck to everyone and I hope to work you in the contest in 7 days!!

Re:Ontario QSO Party OQP - 2008/04/21 14:53Salut tlm,
J'ai participé une légère partie de temps pendant la première partie du Party. En même temps que le Michigan QSO Party. Ce fut mêlant parfois... J'utilisais l'indicatif special pour le 400 ième de ville Québec. VG2BOY
J'ai fait une vingtaine de QSO's. J'aurais bien aimé activé davantage le côté VHF...
L'important, c'était le fun et j'ai participé.
