Nebraska QSO Party
==================
<Rules 2000>


Sponsored by the Nebraska QSO Party Group.

Join in on a really fun and laid back QSO Party!  This is our 4th year, and 
we've nearly doubled participation each year!  Nebraskans are not typically 
contester types so don't be surprised by an occasional rag-chew during the 
contest.  After all it is a "QSO" Party, right?  We've got some nice 
certificates and very nice plaques for your shack wall.  This year we've 
again added bonus points for Nebraska stations who go mobile or portable to 
entice activity from "rare" Nebraska counties.  We are yet to have entries 
from all 50 states so just send in your log and win your state.  It's that 
easy!
