I have been looking for small QRP rig for quite a few months, now. I think I would like the MFJ-9200 (a later one of course). I have been trying to jump through hoops on the MFJ website for informatio

Howdy 4SQRP, I am looking for suggestions on a QRP rig. I had a Mountain Topper, which I liked. Problem was these eyes had problem seeing display. I would like a rig where display is easily seen. I ha

Anybody interested in a Mountain Topper MTR5B radio ? I bought one last year at Four Days in May. Made a few contacts and lost interest. Just sitting here doing nothing. Original box, packing and powe

It was easy as that. Thanks Norm.

After 36 years of collecting numbers, major contests and trying for DX, I have decided to go 100 % QRP. Have dabbled in it from time to time. I just want regular QSOs, maybe rag chew. I plan on doing

I did. Check out message #5871.

Never mind. I finally found it on the net. Thanks. Jim, NV9X #705.

I just sent my opposition in. NV9X, Jim 705

Due to a lack of (like zero) QRP groups in Chicago area, I will be doing Field Day in my back yard. I have a car battery and I know it will last all 24 hours. However, at Hamvention, I picked up 3 SLA
