While I'm one who thinks a 500 watt Elecraft amp would be cool, and 500 watts an ideal power level...would be especially cool if I get to solder more than 3 connection points...let me tell you what 2.5 watts of AM QRP has managed to start in New England...
New England Sunday Afternoon AM QRP Net - The Results and UR Feedback
« on: January 23, 2011, 09:41:59 AM »
Gather together your PWers, Cake Pan rigs, Johnson Adventurers, Home-brew 807 rigs, Retro 75s, Elecraft K3s, Icom 703s, Yaesu 817s, etc.
If its 807 power (25 watts) or under, its welcome here.
Sunday New England AM QRP Net
Kicks Off - Jan. 16, 2011
Time - Sunday at 3PM EST - we're going to try this time and see how it works, we'll settle between 1-3PM once things sort out.
Freq - 3880 Kc - want to keep on freq all license classes can use (Tnx to KB1HYS,WA2DTW and K1FZ for this)
Rig - QRP, defined as 807 power or less (Tnx to Carl, KC2TAU and others for suggestions here)
Mode - AM, hence the name AM QRP
Format - Roundtable, for order and to let the truly PW have a say
Vintage - New or old, home brew or commercial just fine, "run what you brung" (Tnx to KC2TAU for feedback here)
NCS - Bruce W1UJR to start, will need others for future nets, NCS should have QRO ready if needed to "guard" the freq
Purpose - To showcase AM QRP operation, to give folks a chance to run their AM QRP gear, to discuss the weather, what's for dinner and radio in general. Think of it as the old "Lonely Guys" and "What's For Dinner" nets with a QRP twist.
January 23, 2011 - Net Summary
Great job fellows!
For next week, let's keep the 3PM starting time, same freq, same format and let it roll
Thanks for all for taking the time to check in.
I had thought we've have two rounds, but when the numbers started creeping up over 15 check ins,
I thought we may miss that number.
A solid 1 hour+ worth of fine business AM QRP, most sigs were Q5 or very close.
