Wisconsin and Idaho QSO Parties start Saturday afternoon, Mar 9, at 1900UTC (2PM Local)

PCARS Contesters:

This weekend K8BF will be on the air, participating in the Wisconsin and Idaho QSO Parties. Festivities start Saturday afternoon, Mar 9, at 1900UTC (2:00PM Local) with the Idaho QSOP. It runs until 1900 UTC Sunday.

The Wisconsin QSOP starts at 1800UTC (2:00PM Local) on Sunday afternoon until 0100UTC (9:00PM Local) Sunday evening. NOTE: There is that bothersome time change from Standard Time to Daylight Savings time in the middle of the weekend. (Don’t ask me why we keep changing time. It’s all confusing to me and I hope that Ohio at least stops doing it.)

We will have Four stations on the air and I am hoping that many PCARS members will show up to sit at one of the operating positions, to help our club to another good showing in these two contests.

For those who have not tried contesting or are new to it, this is a perfect opportunity to get started or get some experience in contests that are NOT SO DEMANDING. So come on out and help your fellow members and have some BIG FUN while you’re at it. Hope to see you there.
