> 
> Sponsored by the North Georgia QRP Club (nogaqrp.org), this sprint will be held on Oct. 6, 2018 from 6PM to 8PM EDT, (Oct.6, 2018 - 2200z to 2359z).
> 
> Your QSO will be worth more if you have a Peanut number;  You now keep the same number each year..
> To check to see what your number is, go to: https://tinyurl.com/y5xws6xu

> This short sprint is different from most other QRP QSO events.
> 
> 1. It is open to all amateurs at any power level. We do this to attract some new folks to QRP while running their comfortable power - QRO (<= 100 watts pls). All are welcome. This is a fun event, not cut-throat!
> 
> 2. It is a short sprint lasting only 2 hours and not tying up the entire afternoon. Although a brief sprint, please run reasonable CW speeds so that all can copy.
> 
> 3. It starts late in the day (right after close of CA QSO party!) which means we start at 3PM PDT, later than most contests.
> 
> 4. There are 5 categories covering a variety of situations - the prestigious category in the Peanut Power 1W CW, 2W PEP SSB or less and operating from the field....it's the GOOBER CLASS! SOTA/POTA anyone?
> 
> 5. Certificates will be awarded for each of 5 category winners (minimum 3 entries per category).
>    
> 6. Sprint encourages SSB as well as CW contacts. The exchange: RS(T), State/Province/Country (S/P/C), and your Peanut Number or Power.  Call CQ NUT and have FUN!
> 
> 7. Multipliers count each band/mode. Work GA (or any other S/P/C) on 3 bands and 2 modes (SSB and CW/DIGITAL) = 6 multiplier.  Puts emphasis on switching bands and modes during the event. Check SSB on the quarter hour.
> 
> 8. We encourage activity on all 3 permitted bands - 80M, 40M, and 20M. CW: 3561 khz, 7061 khz, 14061 khz SSB: 3999 LSB khz, 7999 LSB khz, and 14339 USB khz.  Spread out from those frequencies.
> 
> 9. Logs are not submitted - simply a score - but keep your log, in case it's requested for verification. Watch the NoGaQrP (nogaqrp.org) website for results. There is an online score calculator. It's all on the website - http://nogaqrp.org/PeanutPower/ppsscore.php
> 
> 10. Work stations holding a Peanut Power Number (PPN) for 7 points. Stations worked not having a PPN (they will send power instead) yield 3 points. Yes, QRO stations may request a PPN. Remember, you do not declare a category until you decide to send in your entry. If you get halfway through and change your power, simply enter in a different category than you originally thought..
> 
> Peanut numbers are now permanent.  Don't know or remember your number?  See https://tinyurl.com/ybwarlh5  If you have requested a new number this year, this page will be updated before Sunday, Oct. 6
> 
> To request your PPN, send an email to NoGaNuT Pete at kj4ym at bellsouth.net    Requests for special numbers may no longer be accommodated. Remember to include the phrase - "PEANUT POWER NUMBER" in the subject line of your request.  But even without a number, get on and make some contacts, just send your output power followed by a W.
