I'd like to add that I have purchased the two most recent issues of the QRP
ARCI Quarterly Magazine and was very surprised to find such an extremely
high level of professionalism shown in the diversity of topics and editorial
standards of content and appearance. The in-depth review of the 817 was
extremely well done. Lots of excellent technical articles, plus coverage of
QRP contests, and a nice article about QRP in the UK written by a G-ham.
The "International" in ARCI seems to be for real. QRP-related advertising,
calendar of events, and it goes on and on. The QRP ARCI booth at the Dayton
Hamvention was also well done and usually had a large crowd of
enthusiasists. My membership application is in the mail.

Subject: [FT817] QRP ARCI information
Folks,
I have been very impressed with the 817 list. This is what ham radio
is all about IMHO.
I did however want to mention a very closely allied group that you may
or may not be familiar with - the QRP Amateur Radio Club
International.
We have been in existence for 40 years now and we are devoted to low
power (useful in the 'field') and in homebrew (to get that weight
down). In fact, we recently held our sixth Four Days in May
conference in conjunction with the Dayton Hamvention. There were
'817s all over the motel! We had about 400 folks attend some part of
the 4 days of activities and this was 10 miles from the hamvention!
We publish a quarterly magazine which I feel you would enjoy. It
runs 68 pages per quarter in 8.5x11 format.
We have many other activities/awards/fun in our international club
with almost 11,000 members now. We'd like to invite you to be one of
our members if you're not already. Come visit our guest entrance web
page at: Then from there
you can browse around the site. I'd like to see some '817 List' news
in our magazine. If you have some, please feel free to send to our
editor at: craigwb@...
If I may answer any questions, please let me know or post some to the
list. I'm sure others who are members of QRP ARCI will be glad to
answer. Subscription rates/PayPal/who to send to/etc are all over the
web site.
