Texas QSO Party – 19 & 20 September 2026

Hi all,

As discussed during the September meeting, the Texas QSO Party is this Saturday 19th, and Sunday, the 20th.

I have secured the call sign N5J for the event, and, as with Field Day, we will use the World Radio League to log contacts.

PLEASE USE:
For the purposes of digital, all FT8, RTTY, etc are considered digital, and you can only work a station once on digital, so if you work a station on FT8 on 20m and then the same station on JS8call, that will be considered a duplicate.

Chris Fuselier, AJ0PA
