Now, just a few weeks away, get ready to hit the airwaves on September 20-21 as participants from across Washington State, the country, and around the world join in the excitement in the Washington State QSO Party - the Salmon Run. From Washington work as many WA stations, US States, Canadian Provinces, and DX entities as possible to peak your score and earn awards. Travel to far off counties and experience the fun of being the big one no one wants to miss! Combine your activities with SOTA and POTA to maximize the fun.

Although this year’s rules are the same as last year, it’s always good to update your logging program and give it a test run. Whether you use N1MM, N3FJP, or SkookumLogger, Writelog, or another application, take a few minutes to create a mock Salmon Run log and run through a few QSOs. Familiarize yourself with your exchange and class, especially if you'll be operating mobile or portable on a less familiar setup.

We’ve got some fantastic awards lined up again this year, including Smoked Salmon (for participants outside of WA), Sweeps Glasses for those verified as earning the elusive clean sweep of all WA counties, and plaques for top finishers. For those able to get out and activate in the field, this year Single-County and Multi-County Expedition high scoring stations will each earn a plaque of their own.

73, and looking forward to working you on the air!
