The NYQP Team – Please Mark Your Calendars for NYQP 2016 on October 15!

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 48 NYQP Plaque Sponsors, has made NYQP one of the preeminent state QSO parties.
