New York QSO Party 2023 – Our 15th Year!
On Saturday, October 21st (at 1400z), the 15th annual NY QSO Party will take place. Come celebrate our 15th anniversary on the air with us.
Since the NYQP restart in 2009, we have experienced tremendous growth, not only in the number of entries, but also the total activity (QSO’s made) on a year-over-year basis. The 2023 event will be no different, with a great set of awards for all entry categories, plus special rookie and youth awards as well.
Our mobiles and portable stations will take to the roads and fields to activate all of the 62 NY counties once again, with pileups sure to follow. Will 2023 be the year that someone finally works a County Sweep? Some have been close, but no operator has yet to achieve a sweep. With high activity and great propagation due to enhanced sunspots, this may be the year!
Plan to join us, starting at 1400z Saturday until 0200z Sunday, on all bands, including VHF. The full rules (updated for 2023), results from previous years, county data, planned activations and more can be found at www.nyqp.org
See you all in a week and a half!
73, Ken N2ZN (NYQP Co-Coordinator)
