From the OSPOTA Committee, we would like to extend our appreciation for your participation in the Fourth annual Ohio State Parks On The Air contest. You are now part of OSPOTA history and our hope is that it will be a long
and rewarding one.
The OSPOTA contest was conceived with three main goals in mind: to promote public awareness of ham radio and Ohio’s beautiful state parks system; to contribute to the recognition that Ohio has a very diverse and wonderful ecology; and to promote camaraderie within the ranks of Ohio’s Amateur Radio operators. It has been with your participation that we believe those goals were achieved.
From the many comments we received by letter and e-mail, we know that above all, it was a fun time for all who involved themselves in this event.
We are already starting to plan for OSPOTA 2012 and we are taking into account the suggestions that some of you have given us, in order to make OSPOTA 2012 an even better event for all concerned.
To those of you who placed in the top spots in each category, congratulations on your efforts. You deserve your awards for your operating skills, especially in light of the propagation on many of the bands. We are counting on everyone doing even better in 2012.
So until September 2012 and on behalf of the OSPOTA Committee, 73!
Chuck W8PT
Chairman
