The Rules for the QSO Party 2014

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 this year is in the form of a contest.

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!
