Hawaii QSO Party 28-30 augusti

I år är mitt mål att dubbla antalet körda QSO i HQP!

”Please save the dates: Aug 28-30 for the Hawaii QSO Party

https://www.hawaiiqsoparty.org/

Despite the pandemic, we have a record number of visitors here this summer. If you’re not here, you can visit us on the air. It’s much safer that way too. Visit the islands and all the Moku (ancient territories).

While most QSO parties use their counties as multipliers, here in Hawaii we only have five counties so we’ve expanded the multiplier list to use “districts” instead roughly following the Moku. Well, not exactly. In a modern twist, we the divided districts along zip code lines. https://www.hawaiiqsoparty.org/mult-map/

All digital modes (RTTY, FT8, FT4, PSK, whatever) are considered “digital” so there are three modes to use: CW, Phone, Digital. This year, please DO NOT use Field Day exchange with FT8. Use the more common grid square for the location. For details, see https://www.hawaiiqsoparty.org/grid-squares/

Hopefully, the WX will cooperate and we’ll have some excellent conditions.

There will be other activity on the HF bands during HQP. Please feel free to work them too and you can include those QSOs in your log when you send it to us. We will simply ignore them and calculate your HQP score only on your QSOs with Hawaii.

With Aloha and 73,   Alan AD6E / KH6TU

HQP Chairman”
