Thanks for checking in for the 2017 Kansas QSO Party!   Hope you all had as much fun as I did making the 900+ Q's this year. 

(Please see note below about W0N for Nebraska Sesquicentennial station.)

Besides 24 plaques, 15+ mobiles, and all 105 counties active both CW and SSB, we have 51 1x1 calls spelling KANSAS, SUNFLOWER, QSOPARTY and BISON (the state mammal) using the last letter of the call. New for 2017, we've added a USA Single-Op CW "filtered" plaque. You can operate mixed mode to find all the 1x1 calls, and we will rescore your log to find the op with the highest CW score. We do the same thing checking for Sunday contacts.  Work both days and all modes and still be eligible for both plaques!

This year we continue using the certificate from the past two years which displays all nine of our antique radio stamps.  You can  choose one stamp for each word spelled up to three.  We've added BISON as a new, short spelling word to make this even easier.  Our new stamp for 2017 is the 1973 Progress in Electronics Transistor stamp. We also have a drawing for the chance to win our solid maple laser-engraved made-in-Kansas plaque, the same one category winners take home. To enter the drawing, just turn in a log. The more 1x1 calls you work, the more chances you have to win. Working BONUS station KS0KS counts as a wild card in the spelling challenge. Here's the direct link to the 1x1 Checklist. Hope you can join the fun!

Our schedule and other information follows.  More information is available at the KSQP web site including pictures of the certificates and stamps. You can also see the stamps below.

W0N was used for the Nebraska Sesquicentennial station earlier this year and it will resume October 1 of this year. For those wishing a QSL for the Sesquicentennial, please look at the KR0P page for details.
