Finally a note from Rebecca regarding the BCQSO Party:
Those considering a few hours at the radio on Feb 2 local time and they are not sure about how to execute a QSO or trade QSOs, please let those individuals know that they can contact me at va7bec with their questions.
I’ve also prepared some helpful hints, which are now posted at http://orcadxcc.org/content/pdf/bcqp_hints.pdf and a one-page summary of coinciding events and required exchanges, which might be handy to have near the radio on game day. The summary is at http://orcadxcc.org/content/pdf/weekend_sked_2013.pdf
For BCQP 2013, we have plaque sponsors for top scores in five categories:
Top BC
Top YL
Top Canadian Score outside BC
Top US Score
Most Federal Electoral Districts Worked
I’ll be running the sponsor call, VA7ODX, on sideband. Drop by and say hi if you hear me CQing.
