Come Have Fun With Us!
It's that time of year again, time for the Florida QSO Party. This event is OPEN to ALL and is a great event for everyone. If you have never made a HF contact, this is for you! If you want to practice and improve your contesting skills, this is for you! If you just want to make simple contacts, this is for you!
The event will be on April 27 & 28. Stay for a little, or the whole time. There's plenty of time for everyone to get on the air, and we will be there to help if you need it. It will be a good time!
For those going to the HamCation Picnic come on out and help us set up if you can, then go to the picnic and come back after the picnic for some on-the-air fun.
We have a signup sheet if you would like to reserve operating, logging, and/or shadowing time.
