LI/NJ QRP Doghouse Operation Sprint

Announcing the LI/NJ-QRP Doghouse Operation Sprint,
sponsored jointly by
the Long Island QRP & New Jersey QRP clubs.

Here’s a sprint that you can work and still manage to stay out of the doghouse on the Saturday afternoon prior to Thanksgiving. You can play radio, and have plenty of time to mow the lawn, shovel snow, clean the guest room; do whatever it takes to get the house ready for Thanksgiving.

 Date:

Fourth Saturday of November

20 November 1999

 Time:

1700 - 2100 UTC

The contest is a single-op QRP CW sprint. Try to operate as many ops in as many area codes as possible. Stations may be worked more than once on different bands.

 Suggested QRP Frequencies:

1.810, 3.560, 7.040, 14.060, 21.060, 28.060 MHz.

 Exchange:

RST, Telephone Area Code and first name.

 QSO points:

2 points per QSO.

 Power Multiplier:

  • Less than 1 watt x 10
  • 1 to 5 watts x 7

 Bonus points:

  • Battery/solar operation from home location: 100 points

  • Portable field location, battery/solar operation with temporary antennas outside of home QTH: 100 points

 Total points:

(QSO points x power multiplier) + bonus points.

Certificates will be awarded for the highest overall total score and most unique Area Codes worked from each Call Sign Area in the US, Canada and DX country. Area Codes can be counted once per band.

Please include an SASE if you’d like to receive contest results. Results will be posted to QRP-L, LIQRP and NJ-QRP by year’s end.

Late entries will count as check logs.

Good luck to all, and remember, radio and holiday/family do mix!

The Amateur is Balanced...Radio is his/her hobby. He/she never allows it to interfere with any of the duties he/she owes to his/her home, his/her job, or his/her community. I think we can do both here!

Join us for the third LI/NJ QRP Doghouse Sprint.
