<div>Info from AA3B regarding 160m in the PaQP. There's a point advantage in the PaQP for working people on 160, which is likely why anyone goes there.</div>

<p><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The PA QSO Party is sort of unique as state QSO parties go. It is primarily an intra-state event. There is a point advantage to 160M and 80M CW QSOs – both are worth 2 points, as compared to 1.5 points for CW QSOs on 40 and above, and 1 point of SSB QSOs. Also, there is mobile activity, but it is not as dominant as in other QSO parties. 160 adds some excitement, but the activity is not huge – my totals for 160M are shown below. Hope this helps. 73 Bud AA3B</span></font></p>
