The New Hampshire QSO Party is sponsored by the Port City Amateur Radio Club to promote amateur radio activity within the State of New Hampshire. This annual event held on the third weekend in September is designed to encourage New Hampshire stations to expand their knowledge of DX propagation, improve their operating skills, and improve station capability by creating a friendly competition and incentive for stations worldwide to work each of the counties in New Hampshire. The rules for this event are attached.

We are asking you to invite and encourage your members to participate in this annual event, and to assist the PCARC by operating as many stations within each of the New Hampshire counties as possible.

If you are in Connecticut, I need your help.  On July 1, the annual 13 Colonies event will kick off.  In this event, special callsigns (K2A-K2M) will be on.  In Connecticut, K2D is the call and we are short of operators.  If you would like some fun and a chance to do some running, this is the place.  This is DXpedition-style and you are the rare DX.

If you would like to participate, please let me know asap.
