The objective of the AMSAT-UK OSCAR Satellite QSO Party<\/a><\/strong> is to encourage all radio amateurs around the world to get on the air and make contacts via satellites during northern hemisphere summer. We would like to attract both seasoned die-hard operators as well as all newcomers who are just getting involved.<\/p>\n

While points are given per QSO this isn\u2019t a contest, but we hope it will encourage people to get on the air and enjoy the excitement of making contacts through satellites.<\/p>\n

The AMSAT-UK OSCAR Satellite QSO Party will be supported by an online leaderboard<\/a> which will be available from the start of the event which runs from 00:00 GMT on 1st August until 23:59 GMT on 22nd September.<\/p>\n

Prizes will be awarded to those from first to thirteenth place and are open to both AMSAT-UK and non-members around the world.
