Oh yea this contest has a very
interesting twist that called QTC traffic. So stations
will ask if you have or want QTC. So what the heck is
QTC? Well in a nutshell is an exchange of QSO data
(Time, Call and Serial Number) of stations that you
have worked limited to 10 QTC¡¯s. The N1MM program
makes this very easy to send or receive QTC especially
for RTTY is it a matter of a couple of Key Strokes.
Here is a link for N1MM

the frequency until you work a station at which time
you have to QSY. Complete rules at

???The Bruce Kelley 1929 QSO Party is an annual
AWA-sponsored event where participants either have
acquired or have built their own transmitters using
1929 or earlier designs, techniques, and tubes from
1929 or earlier. Hand Keys or Vibroplex-type ¡°bugs¡±
should be used.? Non-AWA members with 29-Style rigs
are welcome to join in! The objective is to contact as
many other 1929 stations as possible.? Since we use
early designs, it is a cacophony of whooping,
chirping, buzzing, clicking, drifting, swishing,
swaying, warbling, and other interesting signals.?This
is what ham radio sounded like in 1929 and for two
weekends in November it¡¯s 1929 again on the ham bands!
The 1929 QSO Party was started in 1991 and was
championed for several years by Bruce Kelley, W2ICE,
an AWA co-founder.??
