Each Fall, the Collegiate QSO Party provides&nbsp;an opportunity for clubs to&nbsp;demonstrate amateur radio to new members, engage with alumni, and promote activity throughout college and university communities.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is this event for?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This event is open to all radio amateurs. Points can be earned by individuals, clubs, and collegiate stations. The Collegiate QSO Party encourages alumni to connect with their alma mater and students to network with other schools. New hams are welcome and stations are encouraged to be accommodating to new radio amateurs.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a &#8220;collegiate station?&#8221;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the purposes of this event, a collegiate is defined as students, faculty, staff, or alumni operating under the callsign assigned to the club registered at the college, university or other post-secondary academic institute. Collegiate clubs may operate on campus in the club station or setup in a public area (with permission) or off campus. Alumni\/Faculty\/Staff without an active student club who wish to \u201cactivate\u201d their school may do so with the permission of the trustee of the collegiate club callsign and compete in this category.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current students at schools without an participating amateur radio club may compete under their own callsign. Points will apply as a club station.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be sure to check out the&nbsp;&#8220;Info Packet&#8221; PDF here&nbsp;for rules and more details on the Collegiate QSO Party.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/172-234-197-23.ip.linodeusercontent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-Collegiate-QSO-Party-Packet.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 2024 Collegiate QSO Party Packet.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-594d6e18-b4f1-4390-8ba9-bed55a6c4dfe\" href=\"https:\/\/172-234-197-23.ip.linodeusercontent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-Collegiate-QSO-Party-Packet.pdf\">2024 Collegiate QSO Party Packet<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/172-234-197-23.ip.linodeusercontent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-Collegiate-QSO-Party-Packet.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-594d6e18-b4f1-4390-8ba9-bed55a6c4dfe\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/groups\/ARRLCARI\">CARP&nbsp;Facebook group<\/a>&nbsp;to follow college and university operations before and after the event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact andy@gatorradio.org and tony@kd8rtt.com with any questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web hosting provided by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/kd8rtt.com\/\">Tony, KD8RTT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Participating Colleges and Universities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last updated 10\/4\/2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Call Sign<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>College\/University<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>QTH<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W0EEE<\/td><td>Missouri University of Science and Technology<\/td><td>MO<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K4UCF<\/td><td>University of Central Florida (UCF)<\/td><td>FL<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W4USF<\/td><td>University of South Florida<\/td><td>FL<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W9HHX<\/td><td>Milwaukee School of Engineering<\/td><td>WI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W7OSU<\/td><td>Oregon State University<\/td><td>OR<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W8YX<\/td><td>University of Cincinnati<\/td><td>OH<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>N6IVC<\/td><td>Irvine Valley College<\/td><td>CA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W8SH<\/td><td>Michigan State Univeristy<\/td><td>MI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W4DFU<\/td><td>University of Florida<\/td><td>FL<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W0FLN<\/td><td>Saint Louis University<\/td><td>MO<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W2SZ<\/td><td>Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)<\/td><td>NY<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K4KDJ<\/td><td>Virginia Tech<\/td><td>VA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W9UWS<\/td><td>University of Wisconsin-Stout<\/td><td>WI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W5UL<\/td><td>University of Louisiana at Lafayette<\/td><td>LA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W5YM<\/td><td>University of Arkansas<\/td><td>AR<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K2CC<\/td><td>Clarkson University<\/td><td>NY<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W3VC<\/td><td>Carnegie Mellon University<\/td><td>PA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>N5A<\/td><td>Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute<\/td><td>NM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K7UAZ<\/td><td>University of Arizona<\/td><td>AZ<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K8YSU<\/td><td>Youngstown State University<\/td><td>OH<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>KO4MIM<\/td><td>Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University<\/td><td>FL<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SK100KTH<\/td><td>KTH Royal Institute of Technology<\/td><td>Sweden<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W0IO<\/td><td>University of Iowa<\/td><td>IA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W9YB<\/td><td>Purdue University<\/td><td>IN<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K6UCI<\/td><td>University of California, Irvine<\/td><td>CA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W1KBN<\/td><td>Northeastern University<\/td><td>MA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W2CXM<\/td><td>Cornell University<\/td><td>NY<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K3TU<\/td><td>Temple University<\/td><td>PA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W6BHZ<\/td><td>Cal Poly San Luis Obispo<\/td><td>CA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W8UM<\/td><td>University of Michigan<\/td><td>MI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>KK6UC<\/td><td>UC San Diego<\/td><td>CA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W2NYU<\/td><td>New York University<\/td><td>NY<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W3JHU<\/td><td>Johns Hopkins University<\/td><td>NY<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K8HPS<\/td><td>Kettering University<\/td><td>MI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K5UTD<\/td><td>University of Texas at Dallas<\/td><td>TX<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>W4ATC<\/td><td>NC State University<\/td><td>NC<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>K9IU<\/td><td>Indiana University<\/td><td>IN<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 2020-2024&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/collegiateqsoparty.com\/\">collegiateqsoparty.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">N1MM Logger+ User Defined Contest File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have created files for the free N1MM Logger+ logging software so that you can log the contest and&nbsp;see your score in real time.
