Yes, indeed, one of those nights! I heard Johnny call the net and gave him a call a couple of times. I wasn't sure if he came back to me or not. There was a high noise level and his signal was very we

Jim, are you certain you are logged into your groups account?

Johnny, you were strong into the St. Louis area. KB6V beat me to the punch when you first called the net, then our dog came begging for her evening walk. Since I didn't know the true urgency of her ba

I couldn't agree more, Terry. Great fellowship, great prizes, great speakers, great conference!

Like others, I've had several paddles and straight keys through the years, but my favorite is the TP4 paddle made by Larry, N0SA, which I bought in 2010. It's a gem! Dale, K4EQ

Nothing happening in my shack since all the equipment is packed and antennas down in anticipation of our move, which will happen as soon as the remodeling is done on our new home. That's probably seve

I'm terribly sorry for your loss, Wayne. May God grant you strength, peace, and comfort in this difficult time and in the days ahead. Dale, K4EQ

Bummer! Fortunately, we're looking good here west of STL. Hopefully next week, Wayne. 72. Dale, K4EQ

Holy cow, what a great, nostalgic site! Time to dig out my WPE8ETW Short Wave Monitor certificate. Thanks for passing along this info.

Indeed, it was a great net tonight. This was only the 2nd time this year I've checked into the Wednesday evening net. I've either been out of town, forgot about it, or the band was so bad I couldn't h

Does the Thursday morning net still meet at 8 am CST? I haven't been able to hear anyone for weeks. Conditions are about as bad as I can remember them being and I've been hamming through several cycle

FYI Terry. My only HF antenna is a Cushcraft R8 multi-band vertical. Always fun to check-in the net. 72. Dale, K4EQ

The kits are sold.

I'm cleaning house in my shack and will be selling lots of things at the St. Louis Halloween Hamfest on October 25th. However, I have some unbuilt kits I thought someone in the 4SQRP Group might be in

It's obvious from all the replies that there's no consensus on this issue. Personally, I consider QRP to be 5 watts output. Period. What happens after that 5 watts reaches its load if where the fun be

The only QRP radio left of the five is the OHR 100A (20m). Also available are an LDG Z-11 Pro auto tuner (0.1-125 watts), an Oak Hills Research WM-2 wattmeter and an Elecraft Hex Key. See pictures at

I've finally decided to buy a new K2, so to help with expenses I'm selling a few of my QRP radios and accessories, including a NorCal 40A, an OHR 100A (20m), a DSW30, a couple of Rock-Mites and a WM2
