About The Event
The Colorado QSO Party is all about getting on the air and making contacts with Colorado! There’s no pressure—work one station or chase all 64 counties, it’s totally up to you. The goal just to get on the air. Whether you make 5 contacts or 500, just jump in and have fun.
POTA fans: you can totally double-dip! Activate a park during COQP and knock out two activities at once. Bonus points if you pick a rare county—you’ll have everyone chasing you!
New to QSO parties?
No problem. Learn the basics here.
Perfect for POTA People.
(and SOTA!)
POTA & SOTA ops: Schedule your activation during COQP and enjoy way more activity on the bands! You’ll rack up contacts faster while helping make the event better for everyone. Just submit your logs to both when you’re done.

[These are just example images. We need to find (or take) some good photos.]
