Go to content

       Welcome to the Atlantic Division QSOP, Special Event Stations and Radio Comms Meetings,


   The State QSOP (QSO Party) is an opportunity to “Worked All States” and increase "Worked All Counties"* as well as achieving recognition with Mobile Amateur Radio Awards Club (MARAC) programs.

   Annual QSOP's throughout the year provides both reward and challenges. Sesonal band-condition changes, Solar-HF propagation flunctional. Rules may vary but the key is knowledge and preparation.

   The overwhelming goal is Radio Comms and meeting fellow Hams.
