The Mississippi QSO Party is an annual event that encourages Hams in Mississippi to get on the air and hand out QSOs to folks from all over the globe.
Whether participating from home, mobile, EOC, or maybe a Parks on the Air entity, it’s a great opportunity to rack up some contacts and meet some new Hams.
It runs from 1400Z on April 6 through 0200Z on April 7. Get on the air, activate a rare county, catch a new county, and have fun.

Today at 1:30 Andrew, Paul and I are going to the Maben Fire Tower to hopefully install APRS, and a DMR repeater on 440 tied to bandmister. Everybody is welcome to come. I’m sure there’s also will be some site maintenance needed.
