RSGB launch ‘Hope QSO Party’
/To help and support radio amateurs who are isolated at home and would appreciate contact with other people, the RSGB Contest Committees have launched a new six-week initiative starting on Monday 6 April 2020, called the ‘Hope QSO Party’. Open to every radio amateur, not just RSGB members, this contest will also welcome international participation with the scoring being on an “Anyone works Anyone” basis.
The initiative follows a recent survey to discover people’s views on how to support radio amateurs in these challenging times. By 1 April 2020, 571 responses had been received and a significant majority of respondents wanted to participate in a series of short QSO party-style weekday contests. The committees appreciate that not everyone is keen on the proposal but the majority view supports this new activity on a temporary basis. The survey will remain open until Friday 3 April 2020 and we’ll present the full results next week.
