• Posted 2012 Rules.
  
  There is a slight change in the VE multipliers. I have change to be consistent with other events.
  
  Here is a list of the new VE mults.
  

  1. Alberta [AB] (VE6, VA6)
  2. British Columbia [BC] (VE7, VA7)
  3. Manitoba [MB] (VE4, VA4)
  4. New Brunswick [NB] (VE9)
  5. Newfoundland and Labrador [NL] (VO1, VO2)
  6. Northwest Territories [NT] (VE8)
  7. Nova Scotia [NS] (VE1, VA1, CY9, CY)
  8. Nunavut [NU] (VY0)
  9. Ontario [ON] (VE3, VA3)
  10. Prince Edward Island [PE] (VY2)
  11. Quebec [QC] (VE2, VA2)
  12. Saskatchewan [SK] (VE5, VA5)
  13. Yukon [YT] (VY1)
  

  
  The total mults for Alabama Stations will be 63. This does not effect the number of mults for those stations outside of Alabama.
  
  Additionally, I have tweeked the recommended mobile operating area. 9/3/2011
  
  
• Just updated the Results and scores. 8/12/11
  
  
• Am planning on presenting the Winner's Plaques at the Huntsville Hamfest, Aug 20 and 21, 2011. If you are planning on attending, please let me know and try to plan on attending the presentations on Saturday during the Contest Forums, actual time to be announced later.
  
  If you have some pictures please send them along. Thanks!
  
  
• Thanks to all that participated in the AQP again this year. I have been processing the logs and found several that participated for the first time in a contest--congratulations on your first entry into the wonderful segment of our hobby called "Contesting". If you need some more information about contesting, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will help or point you in the right direction.
  
  Have turned on the Log's Soapbox comments and 3830 Soapbox comments links as well as the Received Logs link link. We have a total of 160 log received.
  
  
• Please be aware that the Martime QSO Party will also be running at the same time as the AQP. There might be some confusion on what exactly should be logged by Alabama stations. If you should have contact with a VE1(NB), VE9(NS) or VY2(PEI) and they send their county three-letters abbreviation, you should ask the station to confirm his "provience" (PR? on CW). Likewise these Maritime VE stations may ask you to confirm your "state" (ST? on CW) when you send the four-letter abbreviation for an Alabama county.
  
  There is nothing wrong with this going on with either of these events. It was going to happen soon or later that someone would choose the first weekend in June for their event. There are no weekends where there is just one contest. So we cooperate/co-exist with the Maritime QSO Party. Historically we have not have much VE participation in the AQP, perhaps this will increase the support from our neighbors to the North and perhaps it will likewise have a positive effect on their event. I sure hope so! Have some fun! (5/28/2011)

• Please use the link to the left for the lastest rules. There have been changes, so please look them over closely. Also check out the county abbreviations as they have also changed. If you have any questions, please let me know at kc4hw{at}alabamaqsoparty{dot}org.
• Unfortunately the AQP Records pages have not been updated with the 2010 results. I will get this done after the 2011 results are released. My apologizes, but just difficult to get everything done all the time. Jim/KC4HW
• A Word about Corrections: I try to make the results, scoring and webpages error free, but in an effort to get the information published, there are errors, typos, etc. that just creap in and go undetected in different documents. Please let me know if you see anything that needs attention and I will get corrections made as soon as possible. Thanks!
