This page is for the various amateur radio QSO parties that I get a chance to operate in. There's no better way to grab much needed contacts for 5BWAS than working a state QSO event. There are even some state QSO events that have grown to encompass entire call areas, such as the 7th Area QSO party.

Admittedly Field Day is a ham radio event that isn't technically a 'contest' nor is it a QSO party. Field Day is all about learning and perfecting emergency field set up and operation of amateur radio stations. Nevertheless, I include the results of my own ARRL Field Day results here to keep track of my own progress both in Field Day and 5 Band Worked All States.

So, if you are need of that last couple of states for Worked All States or some states on various bands for 5 Band Worked All States then you owe it to yourself to get involved in these state-wide amateur radio events. Who knows, you might even win your state or ARRL Section for the event as I have been privileged to do.

I use contesting and logging software by N3FJP which allows me to produce these great maps both during and after a contest or QSO events. N3FJP's software suits all my contesting and QSO software needs with the exception of digital contest and some fairly new QSO parties such as the Seven Land QSO Party.
