Colorado QSO Party 2012 1200 UTC 1 September 2012 until 0400 UTC 2 September 2012 (6AM to 10PM MDT)

PPRAA is pleased to announce the new Worked All Counties – Colorado (WACCO) award. This award was kicked off
in conjunction with the 2010 Colorado QSO Party. You can earn the award by working a contact in each of Colorado’s
64 counties. There is also a Worked From All Counties version for making contacts from each county.

You can get the rules here.

This year sponsoring a plaque will be $40.00 each.
It should be noted that sponsoring a plaque in most state QSO parties is the same as the 2012 COQP.
We have managed to keep the price the same for several years now.
As always, special categories may be sponsored. Plaques can be sponsored up until we actually bulk order the plaques
in late October or early November. To sponsor a plaque please email
.
Makes checks payable to:

Revisions are constantly made to the website so periodically check back for updates. We want
to be able to present the itineraries of those activating counties through mobile means. This
should help improve many scores.

Our thanks to all who volunteered to help with and participated in the 2010 COQP. If you would like to help with
the 2011 COQP or have questions or comments please email
.

Please tell your friends about the COQP. Get the word out so we will have another great COQP!

73,

Doug, N7LEM
