A1 CLUB QSO PARTY

　　[Japanese]

<<Greetings>>

The A1 CLUB QSO PARTY is a regular event that has been held since 2005.
Although the rules have been slightly revised in the 20 years, the purpose of the event has remained consistent "Let people experience the fun of communicating using Morse code."
The theme for this 24th event is a simple and easy one "ask and get the key information of the QSO station". The event period has been shortened to 15 days expecting that the density of QRV time between participating stations will increase.
During the event, we recommend using "AQP" for calling so that everyone can recognize the event and easily participate.

To stimulate participation, we will issue achievement awards for those who earn a certain number of points, but as this is not a contest, there will be no ranking based on the higher the score. Instead, we will announce each person's unique "special notes," so we think it will be even more enjoyable if each person sets a unique goal for themselves before participating.

We look forward to hearing lots of information about your telegraph keys in the band.

CU in AQP, 73/88 　　　　　　　A1 CLUB AQP team

TheEvent: The A1 Club QSO Party.
　　　　　　　　This is an operating event, not a contest.

Date & time:From 2025-4-30 15:00Z to 2025-5-15 15:00Z, for full 15 days.

Band & Power: Any band and power licensed for the station
　　　　　　　　　　　(except emergency frequency specified in each country if any)

Mode: CW using Morsecode

Calling method: Not specified but CQ AQP is recommended to activate the event.

[Note] When sending a CQ, state "CQ AQP" to indicate that you are requesting an AQP information exchange.
Also, if you are using a different key, you may add a number such as AQP1, AQP2, etc. to let the other station know that you are using a different key.
As this is not a contest, the use of TEST is prohibited.

Exchange: RST+Key Information

RST must be reported accurately.
Key information should be either (1), (2), or (3) below, but (4) is also acceptable.
(1) Model name (e.g. HK808, GN207, etc.)
(2) Manufacturer name and type (e.g. Bencher Paddle, Vibroplex Bug, etc.)
(3) Manufacturer unknown or homemade (e.g. Unknown Bug, Home Made Paddle, etc.)
(4) Type only (Paddle, Bug, Straight Key, Side Swiper (Cootie), etc.)

Points: Each valid QSO on each band will be counted as 1 point,
and the total scores will be calculated by adding up the points for each band.

[Note] Of the QSOs for which Callsign, RST, and telegraph key information are confirmed for each band, a unique combination of callsign and telegraph key information is defined as one valid QSO and counts as one point.
Therefore, even if the QSO with the same station callsign is made on the same band, it can be counted as a different valid QSO if the telegraph key information is different.
Also, if the band is different, QSOs with the same station callsign and the same telegraph key information can be counted as new points.
