I am not sure who came up with the idea of the significant date but that was a GREAT IDEA!!! I had many ask and I got to tell a little about how the (dwarf) PLANET was discovered at Lowell Observatory here in Flagstaff! Many positive comments from those I worked in the party! NICE JOB GUYS!!!!!

In celebration of the new multi-multi and power category additions this year we decided to do a M/M QRP entry. Several had never done QRP before and were appropriately impressed with it. Not too concerned with activating Maricopa County but since we operated from a remote location ‘away from home’ I suppose we are also somehow in the Expedition category. 73, John, WA7NWL.

Pros – We had a great time camping out on the county line.
Cons – GenLog truncated all the Tx and Rx exchanges. Do not like this program.

Lots of fun. Time was shared between this and PA QP and also the Oceana DX Contest.

Thanks for sponsoring, organizing, and administering the 2011 Arizona Statehood QSO Party.

I got on Saturday for a little while, but I found it too unpleasant to continue. The people who do all the work to administer a QSO party get to set the rules, and that is as it should be. However, I found the rules got in the way of me having fun.
