Fwd: [QRP-L] QRPTTF April 28 Rules

With all the talk lately of QRP comms  you may want to try QRPTTF on
April 28th.  There will be a lot of folks running QRP and since it is
joining with the SOTA gang I am sure there will be a number of QRP SSB
ops working too.

Gang,
The rules for this year's QRP TO THE FIELD (QRPTTF) and Summary Sheet are
posted at: http://www.zianet.com/qrp/

This year, we are teaming up with the Summits on the Air stations - or SOTA.
SOTA stations will be operating from designated summits to participate in
QRPTTF.  SOTA stations are QRP - some QRPp, and operate on the usual QRP
watering holes.  This joint effort was designed to give us all more stations
to work (since the sun isn't helping us out much ... solar flux for QRPTTF
predicted to be 100).

Since we're talking mountains and summits, this year's theme is "Get high
with QRP" ... basically, operate from any old nearby hill or as high as you
want to go.

SOTA stations will send the exchange, plus a SOTA designator they use for
identifying the summit (this gives them credit for their awards as well).
Many hike to the summits with a minimalist station, often QRPp, so may be a
bit weak.  Whether you work TTF or SOTA stations, they all go in the log for
credit.  However, you also get an extra multiplier for each SOTA station
worked to reward you for your effort to boost your score.

Complete details and scoring on the website http://www.zianet.com/qrp/

There are also several SOTA members on QRP-L that will be participating in
QRPTTF.  If you have any questions regarding SOTA, or if you feel so
inclined to operate a SOTA location, ask here and they will answer your
questions.

None of us want to haul our gear to the field then struggle to find stations
to work.  Past few years, we have plenty of experience with that!  This will
give us more stations to work for more QSOs, higher scores, and of course,
more fun.

72, Paul NA5N
