Visit http://www.fpqrp.com for more information on the Flying Pigs QRP Club
International. They used to publish a pretty decent monthly newsletter in PDF form, it's free. This club is pretty laid back, they have an email reflector but be warned, it's likely to carry a lot of friendly conversation among the technical posts. However, you won't get flamed for asking a technical question...no matter how simple it may be. They have no dues, no rules, no regular meetings...the Flying Pigs are more like a state of mind. The Flying Pigs QRP Club International has sponsored, along with the Northern Georgia QRP Club (NoGA), the annual "Buildathon" event at FDIM during Dayton for the last three years in a row. Some very NICE homebrew devices have come from those Buildathons....freq counters, SWR/PWR meters, Freq Standards...etc If you want a fun place to hang out and a great group of hams to hang with, join the Flying Pigs QRP Club International. We even have a club beer mug! 72 "xpyttl" wrote in message ... "Greg Doughty" wrote in message ... Is there a group and magazine or other things that support the qrper? Greg *The* online group is QRP-L at qth.net. Be aware that this is a pretty busy reflector, however. Thereis also a QRP reflector at qth which is very low key. Someone mentioned ARCI, which is a very good organization. There are two other big QRP groups. The American QRP club (www.amqrp.org) tends to be a little more focused on homebrewing than ARCI. AmQRP is more like an association of clubs. They were formed by the merger of NorCal and NJQRP, but work with a half-dozen regional clubs to produce kits and conferences. Their magazine, Homebrewer, is a little better than QQ in my opinion (maybe because I'm more into melting solder). The G-QRP club is another great organization. They publish a magazine called Sprat which has been around forever it seems. Personally, I'm not as big a fan of Sprat because they tend to use a lot of parts in their designs which are harder to get on this side of the pond, but on the other hand, if you are on the G-land side of the pond, those are probably easier to get. They have produced a number of kits, many of which are available from Kanga U.S. on this side of the pond. The DL-QRP club also has a number of kits. Theirs seem to be a little more "polished" than the G-QRP kits which are pretty different. Besides these three biggies, there are perhaps a dozen other clubs that publish online and/or offer kits. The Flying Pigs QRP club is more about kits and contests than publications. Someone mentioned the North Georgia QRP club, which has that neat SWR/Power meter. The Arizona ScQRPions currently has a neat paddle kit. Seems like there are several others which escape me at the moment. ARCI runs a big conference in conjunction with the Dayton hamfest every year which is a wonderful place to learn, get parts, and meet other QRPers. AmQRP supports a handful of conferences, including Atlanticon and Pacificon in the spring, Ozarkcon just passed, and Lobstercon coming up. The ScQRPions are running a conference near Flagstaff around the first of July. G-QRP runs conferences in England and Ireland, too, but they seem to be somewhat more erratic than the ones in the states. DL-QRP also runs an annual conference. So yeah, plenty of resources, and an amazingly friendly bunch as well. .. |
