Kansas�Section Manager Ron Cowan, KB0DTI, said that interest has been high for starting the event up again. "I had many hams inquiring about the Kansas�State QSO Party,"�Cowan said. "We are encouraging�Kansas stations to "register" with us and work 20 meters in the afternoon hours. This will help to tackle the demand of the state -- and its many rare counties -- for several Amateur Radio awards, including the County Hunters, ARRL's Triple Play, and Year of the State QSO Party."


If you are a KS radio amateur or you will be active as a rover in the state of Kansas during the Kansas�QSO Party - all 105 counties need to be activated!� Please send an email to [email protected] to register your interest and document your county activation(s).

The�Kansas QSO Party runs from 1400 UTC Saturday,�August�29th to 0200 UTC Saturday, August 30th and from 1400 UTC Sunday, August 30th, 2009 to 2000 UTC Sunday, August 30th, 2009.� Active bands will include 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, 6 and 2m. �Complete rules and forms can be found on the Kansas QSO Party web page at http://www.ksqsoparty.org/.
