Hawai`i Stations – Working the World!
August 24-26, 2024. We hope you had fun. Results are here.
The next one will be August 22-24, 2025.
The Hawai`i QSO Party (HQP) is an event to promote HF operation from the unique Hawai`i destination in the Pacific. Hawai`i is an ARRL DXCC entity as well as the nation’s 50th state needed for the ARRL WAS Award.
Some common questions:
* Grid Squares are allowed instead of QTH name IF the mode does not allow QTH names to be logged. For details click HERE
* HI stations may move from one district to another if they identify as being in that district. For example: AH7RF/KOH is a different station than AH7RF/KON and can be worked again on the same band and mode. Such mobile stations must submit a separate log for each activation.
* HI stations may activate multiple districts by sitting on the boundary with some part of their operation in each. They must identify each such as AH6RF/KOH/KON. Log such contacts as TWO contacts. Each is scored separately and not considered duplicate.
* Other contests run concurrently or overlap with HQP. For instance, WW Digi, OH and KS QSO parties. You can enter any or all of them and send a combined log to us so long as you have at least one Hawaiian QSO. Then send the same log to the other contest sponsors. Or, keep separate logs for each. Your choice.
* When uploading your log be sure to include this line in your Cabrillo header:
CONTEST: HI-QSO-PARTY
