We are the Vienna Wireless Society

VWS is hosting the summer version North American QSO Party using SSB mode.

Date: Saturday. August 15, 2026
Time: 2 PM to 8pm
Location: American Legion Post 180, 330 Center St, N. Vienna

RSVP: Skip K8HWK at WorzelSkip@gmail.com by August 10th.

Contest Rules: https://ncjweb.com/NAQP-Rules.pdf

This is a good opportunity to get out of the house, meet other Club members, and make
new friend via the HF Bands. We’ll be using the Club Flex radio using the Club call
K4XY. Our goal (besides having fun), is to seeking QSOs from the following five states:
AK, ID, NM, NV & UT. Why? … once confirmed, we’ll have worked all 50 states in2026,
and we can seek the coveted ARRL Worked All States Award 250.

If you have not made your first contact using SSB, this a great opportunity. Not to worry
about your license class as we’ll have control operators to assist you. Not familiar with
the FLEX 6700 radio, again, we’ll show you the tricks. Want to configure your laptop for
using the Club Remote radio? Bring your laptop with you to the NAQP event.

If you have questions or are not feeling courageous enough to get on the air, there will
be plenty of people to ask questions or help you out. Join us, meet new people, and
enjoy the fun.

If you have questions about the event, feel free to contact Skip.
Again, we need a head count of the people that want to attend. Please RSVP by Aug
10 th to: Skip, K8HWK at WorzelSkip@gmail.com
