Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 27, 2016, the date of the next Ohio QSO Party.  The contest ruins from noon to midnight local time (1600Z Saturday until 0400Z Sunday).  A large percentage of North Coast Contesters live in Ohio and many of these have been OQP regulars for years, including KW8N, W8CAR, K8MR, W1NN, and K8NZ.  In 2015, 334 logs were submitted containing over 45,000 contacts.  3,811 calls, including 562 from Ohio made contacts in the contest. See the Mad River Radio Club website for the rules.
