[John Lasher]

For those that might be interested in operating the PAQSO Party this weekend.  There are enough instate PA operators that operating from out of PA is still a lot of fun.

Announcing the 2025 Pennsylvania QSO Party!  

 

Hello N3GLZ,

 

The 69^th running of the Pennsylvania QSO Party, also known as the Friendly QSO Party, occurs October 11, 1600Z to October 12, 0400Z and then resumes October 12, 1300Z to 2200Z.

 

Pennsylvania participants will send a serial number and their county; out of state participants should send a serial number and their ARRL section.  Work stations once per band and mode, and work mobiles or rovers when they change counties.

 

Activity is anticipated from all 67 counties.  Watch https://paqso.org/--party-plans-and-aids.html for updates on operating plans.

 

We are pleased to announce that N3XF will be the 2025 Bonus Station, while celebrating the 60^th anniversary of being licensed.  Each contact with N3XF is worth 200 extra points. 

 

Please note that there are enhancements to the Pennsylvania QSO Party Awards starting in 2025 aimed at incentivizing operation on 20M, 15M and 10M.  These incentives include:

 

·         Ten new plaques for the most valid contacts made by stations operating from Pennsylvania on 20M through 10M

·         New certificates for stations operating from Pennsylvania for working all the sections in various regions of the country.  Up to six separate regional sweeps can be achieved

·         Certificates for instate participants will include endorsements for valid QSOs with participants in 50 or more sections

·         Record score listings will be expanded to include the highest number of valid QSOs on 20M through 10M for Single-Operator and Multi-Operator entries in each county and overall

 

Please see https://www.paqso.org/index.html for the full rules, information on awards and certificates, county/section abbreviations, operating aids, past results, and the log submittal process.

 

We look forward to seeing you on October 11 and 12 in the 2025 Pennsylvania QSO Party!

 

73,

 

Pa QSO Party Association
