SUMMARY:Sixteenth Annual Ohio State Parks On The Air – Amateur Radio Contest
DESCRIPTION:Hello OSPOTA Fans\, \nThe 16th annual Ohio State Parks On The Air (OSPOTA) contest will be held on Saturday – September 9\, 2023. This contest as always held on the first Saturday following the Labor Day holiday. \nThe OSPOTA contest was conceived with three main goals in mind:\n1. To promote public awareness of amateur radio and Ohio’s beautiful state parks system\n2. To contribute to the recognition that Ohio has a very diverse and wonderful ecology\n3. To promote camaraderie within the ranks of Ohio’s Amateur Radio Operators \nYour participation has allowed these goals to be achieved. We agree it is a lot of fun to get out in a natural setting with your radio and see how well you can do at working operators in the beautiful Ohio State Parks. \nThe contest hours will be from 1400 UTC to 2200 UTC (10 am to 6 pm ET). \nThe contest committee has been busy going over the rules and information about the contest\, please check for any changes in the rules \nPlease be aware only Electronic (Cabrillo files) will be accepted for entries. No text\, pdf\, csv\, adif\, bin\, photos of logs\, paper\, etc. Comparing contest logs is being changed and we need your log file in standard Cabrillo format. \n\nWe hope this year’s OSPOTA is bigger and better. \nAt this point\, there will be 75 Ohio State Parks open for 2023. (ODNR reports there will be a new State Park opening in 2023\, but per our rules\, it will not be considered as an active park until the following full year – 2024). \nAs in the past – you can let us know which State Park you plan on activating and we’ll keep everyone informed. Send your planned park info to: PlannedParks@ospota.org and please include the call to be used. \n73 from the OSPOTA Contest Committee \nKB8UUZ\, W8PT\, WG8X\, W8KNO and KB8UHN \n\n  \nSource: https://ospota.org/
