2008 Elecraft QSO Party

[k9mms]

When is the 2008 Elecraft QSO party scheduled to take place?  The Elecraft
website still contains the announcement for the 2007 EQP.

Earlier this week, I found the 2008 Elecraft QSO party listed on a couple of QRP
websites, and it was scheduled for today; however the links still went to the
Elecraft website and the 2007 announcement.  Earlier this afternoon, I called CQ
EQP and tuned around the suggested frequencies -- virtually nothing happening
about EQP.  I only had one reply to my multiple CQ EQPs (a K3 in ME), and I did
not hear any EQP QSOs in progress.  After tuning around a few bands for about 30
- 45 minutes, I quit trying.  The bands seemed to busy with OK QP and BERU QSOs.  
I checked later this afternoon and found that the Elecraft EQP listings had been
removed from the list of QRP contests that I previously found on the "web."

Does anyone have the scoop on when the real 2008 EQP is to take place?

Thanks.

73,

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago and got no response
either.  I would think that with over 500 new K3s out there that many
would like to use them.  :)  Maybe it will be rescheduled later this year.
