The Arkansas QSO Party

Arkansas QSO Party logo

The Noise Blankers Radio Group sponsors The Arkansas QSO Party (ARQP). For more than 20 years, the ARQP was chaired by Don Banta K5DB in some form or fashion. He single-handedly revived the state’s QSO Party many years ago and grew it to be a premier event with increasing participation each year. Don likes to hand out counties, so look for him as a rover in the next ARQP!

The ARQP is held each year in May. It’s an easy 12-hour event that allows for a full-day experience or drop-ins that won’t take up your entire weekend. Click here to go to the Arkansas QSO Party website for rules, maps, information and more.
