This Weekend In RadioSport | Join The Party

RadioSport USA | Florida QSO Party (FQP).
"Regardless if you are a serious or casual participant ... from Florida, or from outside of Florida ... the Florida QSO Party was designed to be a FUN operating event. Why not give it a try?"

• Counties On the Air (link).

I'm looking forward to expanding my list of Florida counties worked.

RadioSport USA | Nebraska QSO Party (NQP).
NQP keeps the party going into the after hour as propagation rolls across the nation. What a great opportunity at logging rare Nebraska counties during bearish Cycle 24.

RadioSport Oceania | VK/ZL RTTY Sprint Contest.
The first ever Kiwi Digital Modes Group (KDMG) DigiSport event is ready for the ionosphere. First mode is RTTY with a one-hour sprint format over two consecutive Saturday nights.

Given the potential of digital modes of operation is DigiSport the next, next big thing in ham radio?

RadioSport Eu | SP DX RTTY.
Trend or an improvement on tradition in either case RTTY is mode hot for many ham radio operators. Shortwave listeners are invited to join the fun as well.

I like the concept of inviting shortwave listeners into RadioSport events. Remember those shortwave QSL cards from the bureau? Perhaps a service like eQSL might consider shortwave listener confirmation? Spinning off that question, why not, downloadable logbooks for shortwave listeners with adif file format? Hope to hear you and see you in the contest logbook this weekend.

Contest on!
