Hi all,

Once again this year the Pennsylvania QSO party will offer the "Beacon 
Award"   for the blind op with the most QSO's.   This year's contest is 
October 10-11 starting at 1600 utc Saturday until 0500 utc Sunday and 
restarting at 1300 utc Sunday until 2200 utc.

160 meters up through vhf/uhf, (except WARC  bands).  All modes.
I was lucky enough to win the  award last year with 614  QSO's.  Come out 
and join us this year.   The award is not based on final score, but on 
number of QSO's.   In state or out of state hams are eligible.

I've also been in contact with the chairman of the party who is going to 
make an effort to have more accessible stuff on the web site, such as 
rules, entry forms, and results.   The current .pdf stuff leaves a lot to be 
desired.

73 and look for me  over the weekend of Oct. 10 - 11.
