California QSO Party (CQP) 2002
1600Z October 5, 2002 until 2200Z October 6, 2002
Start your contest season with a bang and compete for our new club
award! I'd like to personally invite you and your Nebraska clubs to
participate in the California QSO Party (CQP). This year we have a new
plaque for the highest scoring entry in "Top Club, non-California".
Obviously we would appreciate it if you would advertise the CQP in your
club newsletter and your club email reflector (even if you decide to not
enter the CQP contest as a club). All California QSO Party rules,
results, county abbreviations, and free logging software are available
at:
Read all about the 2001 CQP contest results (only six non-CA clubs
entered the 2001 CQP):

State-by-state records (who will set their new state record in 2002?):
* http://www.cqp.org/results/Records/rec_nca.htm
Don't forget about all the awards available in CQP (see
http://www.cqp.org/Awards.html):
* 34 Plaques (wood and metal, not mere wallpaper!)
* 40 Bottles of special vintage California wine (with commemorative CQP
labels)
* Certificates to the top S/O in each and every state, province,
country, and CA county
* Certificates to each and every ham who makes at least 100 QSOs in
CQP
We even have CQP T-shirts available for purchase if you make at least
100 QSOs in the contest. This year's California QSO Party promises to
be a lot of fun!
