There will be several SD Counties on the air this weekend, as KD0S/m , K7RE/m,
and other mobile and fixed stations will be on the air for the SD QSO Party.
I will be with KD0S/m all day Saturday, and then likely fixed as WD0T on Sunday
morning.
Times are 1700Z Saturday April 23rd through 1700Z Sunday April 24th, 24 hours
with no breaks. Please see rules below for complete information.
Logging software is best with N1MM, although this includes a Serial Number
which is NOT necessary, only need signal report and state or DX for those
outside of SD, and SD stations will send signal report and County.
Hope to work you on the bands, 73 Todd WD0T.
