Kansas QSO Party Signup

Good Day to the Santa Fe Trail Amateur Radio Club. It is that time of year again for the Kansas QSO party. I am Jeff Darby, KSØJD, and I will be scheduling the operation of the club call sign, KSØKS, and the special event 1X1 call WØE.
The times are listed below:
QSO Day 1 party starts on 29-Aug-206 at 9:00AM CT (1400 UTC) to at 9:00PM CT (0200 UTC) on 30-Aug-2026.
QSO Day 2 party starts on 30-Aug-206 at 9:00AM CT (1400 UTC) to at 3:00PM CT (2000 UTC) on 30-Aug-2026.
There is a new sign up process for both call signs. It can be accessed at www.ham-qtv.com. You will have to create a login and I will have to approve your membership. This ensures that only SFTARC members will be operating under these call signs. Once you are logged in you can select by hours and mode the times you would like to operate.
The web page is a little tricky. The event is two days and there are two days (8/29 and 8/30 available to select. Since the timing of the event is scheduled by UTC the first 10 hours of the day 1 (8/29) are on page 1. The remaining 2 hours of day 1 can be selected on the day 2 (8/30) tab. All time for day 2 (8/30) can be selected on the day 3 tab (8/30).
