Here are the results of the QSO Party, held on Saturday, 21st September 2013.

Sincere thanks to all who took part and submitted logs. Again it was evident that the VK6 operators had a good time, if mostly between themselves!

The Rules for the QSO Party 2013

All licensed Australian Amateur Radio Operators are invited to participate in the annual QSO Party  sponsored by the Radio Amateurs Old Timers Club Australia Inc. The event may be treated as a contest, or simply enjoyed as a basic contact occasion.

This event was originally referred to as the ‘Old Rigs Contest’ because, as amateurs with many years’ experience, many have older radios still in working order. Here is a good opportunity to give them an airing.

However, do not feel afraid to use the latest ‘do everything’ radio!
