Hi
Welcome to the web site of the Mississippi Coast Amateur Radio Association.

Our purpose is to promote amateur radio involvement and growth. We work toward this through on the air activity, enjoyable fellowship, public awareness, and through education and training.

We will be offering many opportunities in the year to come for this and hope, if you are on the coast or just visiting, that you can join us for some of our activities and services. Please check out our web site and see what we are doing and what we have to offer. Thanks for coming by.

QSO Party

The Contest start on 2/26 at 4:00 the afternoon and will end 40 hours later at 8:00am 2/28.

The QSO Party runs 9:00am - 9:00pm Saturday.

 

 We will be having on site meals Friday night, light Saturday Breakfast, Saturday Lunch and Saturday Supper. Meals are pay-as-you-eat…. Please donate for the meals as you would at a restaurant, $5.00 for all three meals will not cover the expenses.

 

Please try to attend we will be on the air from start to finish. We always we need a few night owls for the after midnight shifts.

 

When you operate plan on a three person operating system:

 

1.  Learning how to log and operate the radio

2.  Logging and listening

3.  Operating

The time per position should be Ѕ hour per position, so a shift will run 1 Ѕ hours.

 

If you have headphones or a headset you like to use please bring them along. Adapters for Heil or compatible headsets will be available. Headsets and head phones are personal use items and do not need to be shared.

Please label any equipment you bring along. If it is not pre-labeled ask me and I will provide a label to you.

 

We will be using the N3FJP logging software for both CQ 160 and the QSO Party.

 

The QSO party on Saturday will operate with at least 2 if not 3 radios.
