IRLP - Keeping the Radio in Amateur Radio

Yes, the rumors are true.

Another new year is about to happen. With that, another New Years Eve QSO party on Reflector 9200!

Things get started 10:30 UTC, December 31 (yes that is 05:30 in New York) and conclude at 10:30 UTC on January 1, 2010.

The first IRLP country to make it into 2010 are those stations in New Zealand (UTC +13) at 1100 UTC. Continuing around the world until nodes in the Hawaiian Islands (UTC -10) at 10:00 UTC on January 1.

Join us for the fun and frivolity of it all!

Ron, VA7MWR will be announcing the winners of Friday Night Net giveaway at 03:00 UTC, (22:00 New York) just before the first North American stations pass in to the new year at 03:30. Watch for more information on that from Ron.

Please make sure your node is Reflector compatible before joining. See http://ref9200.irlp.net/ for details.

See you at the party!

Event Announcement...

It is nearly time again for the annual New Year's Eve Around the World QSO Party on Reflector 9200. This year brought to you for the first time with the crystal clear quality of IRLP HD audio (UNCOMP).

[There is no need to change anything on your node to run UNCOMP. All stations that connect to 9200 are automatically running UNCOMP already]

Follow the celebrations around the world for 24 hours beginning at 1030 UTC on Wednesday December 31 (just before New Zealand at 1100 UTC), continuing until 1030 UTC on January 1 (just after Hawaii at 1000 UTC).

With one short exception (below) this is not a net. You will have to connect and make your own contacts. There will be no net control station.

The exception is at roughly 0300 UTC, (2200 EST in North America) Ron McKay VA7MWR will take over the channel briefly to conduct the drawing to determine the winners of two Alinco DR-135T radios to be given away by the Friday Night Net. After the drawing the channel will be returned to the QSO Party, as the celebrations continue across North America, with Newfoundland at 0330 UTC.

TO ENTER for your chance at one of these radios, you must check in to any session of the Friday Night Net on Reflector 9205 between now and then. This net is held on 9205 every Friday night (including tonight) at 0100 UTC (2000 EST). You can only enter during one of the Friday Night Net sessions. You cannot enter on New Years Eve, but you must be present on New Years Eve during the drawing to win. If you are called and do not respond, the drawing will continue until a winner is determined. There is no cost or obligation to enter, simply check in during a Friday night session. The raffle is sponsored by Alinco USA, Ron McKay and the Friday Night Net. More details available on the net.
