The Virginia QSO Party is sponsored
by the Sterling Park Amateur Radio Club (SPARC). It's objective is to promote
amateur radio activity in Virginia's 95 Counties and 39 Independent Cities. VWS
sponsors two plaques Virginia Club Combined Score (Virginia Stations
Only) and Single Band (Any Single Operator Station).
The events runs from 1800 UTC/1400
DST on Saturday, 20 March 2010 through 0100 UTC on Monday, 22 March 2010.
We will be operating a Multi Operator / Multi Transmitter category, which is two
or more operators with two or more transmitters on the air at one time. In the
QSO Party, stations can operate Mixed Mode, in other words we can one
transmitter for CW and the other running Phone, or even digital. We can also
have a transmitter on the air for VHF and UHF contacts. It's more like Field Day
in this respect. Complete rules are available at the VA QSO Party 2010 Rules on the SPARC Website.
VWS will operate from the Annandale
Swim and Tennis Club in Annandale. The club is just inside the Beltway on Little
River Turnpike. A big thank you to Tom (K4TCM) for providing this
location for our use. This location was also used for NAQP CW in January of
2008 as well as last years VA QSO Party.. At that event the club flew a 160
meter windom and a 80 meter windom and we would expect to fly the same for this
event.
Please contact Bernie N4JDF if
you would like to participate in this event.
