DE QSO Party
Contest Period: 1700Z May 3rd - 2359Z May 4thThe Delaware QSO Party, which has been running annually since at least 2007,
sponsored by the First State Amateur Radio Club (FSARC), is an exciting annual
event that invites amateur radio operators from across the country—and
beyond—to make contacts with stations in Delaware. Held over a weekend, this
contest provides a unique opportunity for hams to work all three counties in
the First State while testing their operating skills and enjoying the
camaraderie of fellow radio enthusiasts. Whether you’re a seasoned contester or
a casual operator, the Delaware QSO Party offers a fun and rewarding experience
with a variety of operating categories and certificates available for
participants.
This year’s event promises to be another great
opportunity for operators to log rare Delaware contacts, as the state is often
sought after in other radio contests. Stations operating from Delaware
play a key role in providing multipliers for participants aiming for top
scores. Whether you’re calling CQ from home, a club station, or a
mobile setup traversing Delaware’s counties, your participation helps make the
event a success. Join us for a weekend of radio excitement and help showcase
Delaware’s vibrant amateur radio community. This is also a great event to do
while you are in a park doing POTA.
