Welcome to the Idaho QSO Party - - - Home Page

The 2012 IDQP starts March 10 Starts 1900Z  --  2PM EST, 1PM CST,  12 Noon MST,  11AM PST..
Every year the IDQP gets more popular, this year promises to be no exception,  with lots of sun spots we should have "way" better
conditions on 10 &15 meters.

For out-of-state'rs this is your chance to snag  Idaho and maybe some rare counties. Or just have fun working the pileups !
For the Idaho stations it a chance to show the world there are indeed Idaho hams in Idaho !!

Idaho ranks 37 our of 50 states in ham population,
we are not California so you will need to search for us on the bands. 
out of state stations, please feel free to spot  Idaho Stations , help others find us.   put IDQP in the comments field..
Many Idaho stations and groups are already planning  to make this year bigger and better. 

So TURN UR RADIO ON !! and join the fun.
