<DIV>Along with the Ohio W1AW/8 operation this week is the 2014 Ohio QSO Party.
The OhQP runs from 1600Z Saturday to 0400Z Sunday.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We will have the W1AW/8 stations active in the OhQP. They will be swapping
bands and modes between the various stations in various counties, so don't be
surprised to hear W1AW/8 in a different county than he was earlier. And just as
is the case for mobiles, you can work W1AW/8 again from the different counties
for OhQP credit. However, there is no further credit for the ARRL Centennial
Celebration for repeat QSOs with W1AW/8.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The OhQP has a serial number as part of its exchange. The W1AW/8 stations
in the OhQP will be passing out a serial number and their Ohio county. If you
don't have a serial number handy, just go ahead and give a RS/T. He'll log it as
QSO number 59 or 599. Since the W1AW stations are not a part of the normal OhQP
competition, there will be no problems for the W1AW stations not having
received a "real" serial number.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But we do hope you will be able to take part in the OhQP by working lots of
Ohio stations besides W1AW/8. The exchange is serial number and QTH (State/VE
Province/"DX"). You can work the same station on each band/mode, and work mobile
and rover stations (as well as W1AW/8) again as they change counties.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Full OhQP rules, planned operations, awards, etc., are available
at <A href="http://www.ohqp.org">www.ohqp.org</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The OhQP is on 80-10 SSB and CW. No WARC bands or digital. There will still
be plenty of regular W1AW/8 activity on the digital modes and WARC
bands.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We all hope to see you this weekend!</DIV>
