The California QSO Party (CQP) is the premier state QSO party held every year on the first weekend of October.��The Northern California Contest Club (NCCC) has sponsored CQP since 1974.� CQP has traditionally opened the annual contest season by providing an opportunity for contesters to prepare for the ARRL November Sweepstakes since the format is similar.

Stations outside of California, worldwide, work stations in the 58 counties of the state which serve as the multipliers.� California stations work any station outside of the state with the 50 US states and 8 ARRL Canadian sections as multipliers.� Stations outside of Canada and the US add to one's QSO total but do not count as multipliers.� See the full set of CQP Rules for more detail.

On this site you will find lots of information about CQP, so peruse the index on the left and learn all about the world's best state QSO party!

The 2000 CQP is coming up on 7-8 October.� See the Rules page for details.� Check out the "Reserve-Your-County" page for who will be on from which county.� Be sure and let us know any operations that we haven't listed.� The 1999 Results page shows how things went last year.
