The SCQP starts on Saturday at 10:00 AM EST! This gives everyone plenty to time to get to the voting polls before the contest. We've got a huge line up of SC stations on tap for the contest. Remember that multipliers are ONCE PER MODE PER BAND. Also, we will be on 160m-6m. Below is our list of RSVP ops for the contest, plus many others.

The 2024 SCQP is coming very soon! Hello Everyone...I'm Dave WN4AFP the SCQP Team Leader and I'm going to revive the SCQP FB site. I'll be monitoring and posting news and info about the contest. We do have a new rule change for 2024. Multipliers are now on a "Once Per Mode Per Band". So you can work the same a station in the same county on 7 bands and get multiplier credit for each one. Please read the rules before the contest... This new change should stimulate activity on all the bands. 73 Dave
