2014 New York QSO Party

FINAL RESULTS Overall Summary

Welcome, or Welcome back!

This is our once a year get-together, and RDXA and the NYQP are glad to provide you with the long-awaited results. Thanks to new coordinators Ken N2ZN and Dean NW2K, plus the NYQP Team, we’ve again been able to provide what is becoming one of the larger state QSO parties.

We had 302 logs this year, 145 from NY, 119 stateside, 15 Canadian, and 23 DX, with 44,539 reported QSOs.

Contacts were made in all 62 counties from all 50 states, 8 provinces, and 53 DX countries. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Here’s the hard-earned major awards

The NYQP Team

The NYQP Team thanks everyone for their participation. From its resurrection in 2009, the New York QSO Party has grown each year, drawing operators throughout the state and from around the globe. This interest, and support from the Rochester DX Association (RDXA), and over 43 NYQP plaque sponsors, has made NYQP one of the preeminent state QSO parties.
