DE QSO Party

Contest Period: 1700Z May 3rd - 2359Z May 4th

The 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.
