All Union County Members:
I hope you will participate in our third annual MUD (Madison, Union, Delaware county) QSO Party on Saturday March 9th, from Noon to 3 pm.  
 
Last year's event was a big success, with a record number of contacts made between the members of our three clubs.  I'm hoping for even greater participation this year.   

This will be a fun 'VHF and up' contact event to meet our neighboring club members on the air.  In this event, you can...
  • Work from home, or go mobile / portable if you like.
  • Contact anyone in any location (including within UCARC) but the main goal is to meet members of the Madison County and DELARA Clubs.
  • Make contacts via FM Simplex on various bands - so see how far out you can reach with your station.
  • Use any of our 3 club repeaters to make contacts (work the same station again, and log another contact)
  • Try any simplex mode - FM, SSB, AM or digital voice modes (DMR, DSTAR, Fusion).
  • New in 2024:  Try digital messaging with fldigi 
  • Any mode or band 6m and up is allowed, but the suggested frequencies / modes should help improve your chances of making a contact.
  • Submit a log, and compete on points for awards (optional, but encouraged).
