There was a very strong representation from VK6, as the results show. However, it would be nice to see a more even distribution across all States - and some CW!

The Rules for the QSO Party 2012

All licensed Australian Amateur Radio Operators were invited to participate in the annual QSO Party sponsored by the Radio Amateurs Old Timers Club Australia Inc.

The event could have been treated as a contest, or simply enjoyed as a basic contact occasion.

This event is sometimes referred to as the ‘Old Rigs Contest’ because, as amateurs with many years’ experience, many have older radios still in working order. Here was a good opportunity to give them an airing. However, entrants were also able to use the latest ‘do everything’ radio!
