MUD QSO Party on Saturday March 8th, from Noon to 3 pm

I hope you will participate in our fourth annual MUD (Madison, Union, Delaware county) QSO Party on Saturday March 8th, from Noon to 3 pm.

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 DELARA) but the main goal is to meet members of the Madison and Union county 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).
  *   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).


We are working on minor rule changes and a simplified log form.  Look for those details to follow in the coming days.

I hope you will mark this on your calendar and join the fun.
