Tom Frenaye, K1KI writes on the YCCC reflector:

Will you be active this year? Sure would like to hear from you if so. There are lots of new contesters that get their start in state QSO parties, and a good number of others who chase counties and enjoy focusing on working one part of the world. From New England, it’s a lot of fun to be the target – rates are usually quite good.

Basic rules: Date: First full weekend of May (May 2-3, 2015)

Contest Period: 2000Z Saturday until 0500Z Sunday (4pm EDT Saturday until 1am EDT Sunday) and 1300Z Sunday until 2400Z Sunday (9am EDT Sunday until 8pm EDT Sunday).
