To help celebrate Nebraska's Sequicentennial there will be a year long QSO Party! The premier event will be the Sesquicentennial QSO Party, from 13:00 UTC Saturday February 25 to 11:00 pm Sunday March 5th. Nebraska's Statehood day is March 1st.
Hams throughout Nebraska are encouraged to participate as NE150Hams using their own callsign with "/NE150" as a suffix. The exchange for Nebraska is : call sign, signal report and county. Additionally participating Nebraska stations are encouraged to operate from historical sites in Nebraska (this is optional) then the station will add the name of that site, "Homestead National Monument" or "Chimney Rock". The response from the station outside Nebraska is call, name, signa report and state or province. If the station is outside of the US, then just their country.
Lots of details are still in the works, so check at http://ne150hams.org/ to get the latest information.
