The TERAC Amateur Radio Club (K7AUO) www.terac.org is planning on
activating Gilliam County, OR during the upcoming Area 7 QSO Party (7QP) on
Saturday, May 4, 2013. K7AUO will be equipped for SSB and CW on 10 through
80 meters, actual operation will depend on band conditions. There are only
two licensed hams in Gilliam County and they do not currently have HF
capability so this is a rare county. Confirmation by QSL card (SASE
appreciated), EQSL, or LOTW. K7AUO looks forward to making a QSO with you!
