Special Thanks
To Chapter 58 who not only gave us a great Convention in Denver but supplied the operators for W2MM for our 2007 QSO Parties. And once again thanks to our log checker Bob Buus, W2OD for a job well done.

Chapter Participation
13 Chapters managed to have 2 or more chapter members participate in the Fall QSO Party. A special mention to Chapters 70(8), 130(5), 202(5), 62(3), 119(3) and 162(3).

QSO Party Rules Change !
I am sure you have looked at the "Frequencies - 15 Bands may be used " heading from time to time and scratched your head a bit..This table was established several years ago from the FCC Part 97 Privileges which established the amateur bandplan in use at the time in the United States..Both the privileges and the bandplan have changed over the years. Also we added the "MIXED" category to our QSO Party Rules. When the last ARRL bandplan was published last year Bob Buus and I took a look at this "Frequency" table and decided we could live with it for the Fall Party, but would update it for 2008. At the same time Bob, after several years of checking the party logs had identified a mistake in the way some people were interpreting the "multiplier" rule which he would have to correct. A little re-wording of that paragraph may save Bob some work.Surprisingly the changes will make no difference in how the contest has been running for the last several years....It just brings the terminology up to date. Cheers....

And we sure would like to hear a few more QCWA members on the air during the QCWA QSO Parties. The biggest advertisment we have is filling the airwaves with amateurs calling "CQ QCWA." .That lets a lot of Amateurs know we are there and wonder what "QCWA" is all about...And we have fun doing it !
