numbers in the multiplier boxes. We have already received over 60 logs via email and will start processing them this week.

If you use the XLS spreed sheet for scoring. Simply place an x in the appropriate category boxes. The sheets are protected so you can only enter data in the blue boxes.
If you have pictures of your station used during the COQP, especially those Colorado Stations that went mobile or portable to activate remote counties, please and we will post them here on the web site.
PPRAA is pleased to announce the new Worked All Counties - Colorado (WACCO) award. This award was kicked off
in conjunction with the 2010 Colorado QSO Party. You can earn the award by working a contact in each of Colorado's
64 counties. There is also a Worked From All Counties version for making contacts from each county.
You can get the rules here.
New logging forms for 2011 are posted at the left. Both a PDF version for hard copy logs and XLS for electronic or hard copy logs are available. The XLS summary form should allow you to fill in your QSOs and should calculate your score.
The listing of award categories to be sponsored has been posted. This year sponsoring a plaque will be $40.00 each. It should be noted that sponsoring a plaque in most state QSO parties is the same as the 2010 COQP. We have managed to keep the price the same for several years now. As always, special categories may be sponsored. Plaques can be sponsored up until we actually bulk order the plaques in late October or early November. To sponsor a plaque please email . Makes checks payable to:
PPRAA-COQP Awards
PO Box 16521
Colorado Springs, CO 80935-6521
Revisions are constantly made to the website so periodically check back for updates. We want to be able to present the itineraries of those activating counties through mobile means. This should help improve many scores.
Our thanks to all who volunteered to help with and participated in the 2010 COQP. If you would like to help with the 2011 COQP or have questions or comments please email .
Please tell your friends about the COQP. Get the word out so we will have another great COQP!
