Subject: 2026 New England QSO Party is coming soon!<br>
To: New England Clubs <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:frenaye@pcnet.com"><frenaye@pcnet.com></a><br>

<br>
Greetings!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I wonder if you would forward the information below about the
upcoming *New<br>
England QSO Party (May 2+3)* to the mailing list for your club and
add it<br>
to your newsletter or Facebook page. The best way to get hams
active and<br>
involved is to get them on the air in events like the NEQP or at
the Field<br>
Dat Get On The Air(GOTA) station.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
* Many thanks and 73* – Tom/K1KI<br>

*The New England QSO Party** on May 2nd and 3rh is a great time to
check<br>
out antenna systems and offers a moderately paced opportunity to
work new<br>
states and countries. You'll find a wide variety of participants,
from<br>
newcomers to experienced contesters, all interested in making
contacts with<br>
New England stations.*<br>
<br>
Our goal is to get every one of the counties in New England on the
air so<br>
we hope you will encourage your members to join in the fun! Even
if you can<br>
only join the fun for a couple of hours, we'd appreciate it! *Will
you be<br>
QRV? Let us know with a message to* *info@neqp.org
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:info@neqp.org"><info@neqp.org></a>*<br>
<br>
*The New England QSO Party is 20 hours long overall, in two
sections with a<br>
civilized break for sleep on Saturday night. It runs from 4 pm
Saturday<br>
until 1 am Sunday, then 9 am Sunday until 8 pm Sunday. Operate on
CW, SSB<br>
and/or digital modes (not FT-4/8) on 80-40-20-15-10 meters. For
each QSO<br>
you'll give your callsign, a signal report and your county/state.
Top<br>
scorers can earn a plaque and everyone who sends in a log with 25
valid<br>
QSOs or more will get a certificate. The goal is to work stations
anywhere<br>
in the world - and their goal is to work New England stations, so
you'll be<br>
very popular!*<br>
<br>
Last year we had logs from 214 New England stations and 493 more
logs from<br>
around the country and world.<br>
<br>

under two weeks<br>
until the 2026 NEQP. Please make some QSOs even if you don't want
to send<br>
in a log!<br>

Thanks!<br>
