KY QSO Party ! June 3—4, 2023
Please be aware that the 2023 Kentucky QSO Party is coming up this weekend, of January 3rd and 4th. It starts 1300Z the 3rd and lasts until 0100Z June 4th. For those that don’t speak UTC, that’s 9AM to PM on Saturday. For other states, this is a contest to see how many KY counties can be worked and how many KY contacts can be worked. For those of us in KY, we just work everybody we can, though more KY counties adds to your score. It’s a good way for you to work more states, counties and even countries. Plus it provides good experience for newcomers to the hobby to get used to operating on HF. The only thing you need to provide to a contact is a signal report and your county. This is where most of our club members have an advantage in that our counties are among the most wanted counties in the USA. Martin, Lawrence, Pike, Johnson, Magoffin and Floyd counties are all sought after counties. So get on the air this weekend and make some contacts and help out others collection counties.
