California QSO Party 2016
W6K
CQP Expedition to Tuolumne County |
The California
QSO Party is an event wherein Radio
Amateurs activate all California counties for the purpose of ensuring
radio readiness in the event of disasters; natural or otherwise.
Of all the
state QSO parties, CQP is by far the largest, best organized and most fun.
Essentially,
the CQP event is a world-wide contest - one of the reasons it is such
a popular event.

ran from 9:00 am PDT (16:00 UTC) on Saturday October 1st to 3:00 pm
