<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>It's spring, meaning it's time for Indiana
radio clubs and individual hams <BR>to start planning for the Indiana QSO Party
on May 5. Not only is this the <BR>annual running of our popular (and fun )
INQP, it's also a chance to shake <BR>down your mobile or club's field day setup
by activating some of the more <BR>"rare" Indiana counties. This is a
great opportunity to become "the hunted" <BR>and experience pileups looking to
work YOU !<BR><BR>There's a link to a powerpoint presentation on the INQP
website <BR>(</FONT><A href="http://www.hdxcc.org/inqp"><FONT
size=3>www.hdxcc.org/inqp</FONT></A><FONT size=3>, click on PUBLICITY PACKAGE)
that could be used as <BR>program material in your club. The website also holds
a lot of other info, <BR>like rules for INQP, operating tips, and links to
special awards, like the <BR>Worked All Indiana Counties award.<BR><BR>Perhaps
your club can mount a full-blown 12-hour effort to put your county <BR>on the
air and compete for the TOP CLUB plaque. Your members can participate <BR>as
individuals, and then combine their scores for a club score. You might <BR>also
organize a multi-op multi-transmitter effort, and perhaps shake out the <BR>club
gear prior to Field Day. (Check out the rules and operating
categories)<BR><BR>Even if you are not contributing to a club entry, feel free
to operate and <BR>compete for individual awards, including our attractive
plaques and <BR>certificates. Beside operating from home, you can go mobile, or
set up <BR>bigger (and higher) antennas as a rover or
portable.<BR><BR>Whatever your operating preference, please get on the air
Saturday May 5 to <BR>put Indiana (and your county) out there for
others to work.<BR><BR>Once you have made a plan, please let the INQP reflector
(or K9WX <BR></FONT><A href="mailto:timk9wx@gmail.com"><FONT
size=3>timk9wx@gmail.com</FONT></A><FONT size=3> ) know what counties and call
signs you will activate on <BR>May 5. We'll put your call on the activity
map.<BR><BR>NOTE: If you've operated INQP before, please be aware that we
changed <BR>our county abbreviations to avoid confusion with other QSO parties
taking <BR>place the same day (meaning, there will be LOTS of stations to
work!). <BR>Check out the website for more info on using these abbreviations
with the <BR>most common logging programs.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>And if you want to operate the other three QSO
parties that day, check out N1MM </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>Logger and our website so you can log all the
QSOs in one log.</DIV>
