Monthly Reminder
开云体育Monthly Reminder: The QQ is published in January, April, July, and OctoberJanuary 2025 QQ was mailed about the 18th.? DX addresses can take up to three weeks to arrive. If you wish to submit an article for publication, having it to the editor@... by the 10th of the preceding month will almost guarantee you make the cutoff. The sooner you send it in the better. if you need some extra time, send email to editor@... and work it out. Articles can be in .DOC, .DOCX, .PDF QRPARCI membership is forever, if you are an active member that means you subscribe to the QQ. If you do not subscribe but you have an ARCI number you are considered an inactive member, which means you don't subscribe to the QQ. If your sub expires with the July Issue, you need to renew (pay) by no later than September 10th in order to keep getting issues without missing one. If your sub expires with the October Issue, you need to renew (pay) by no later than December 10th in order to keep getting issues without missing one. If your sub expires with the January Issue, you need to renew (pay) by no later than March 10th in order to keep getting issues without missing one. If your sub expires with the April Issue, you need to renew (pay) by no later than June 10th in order to keep getting issues without missing one. When you renew or subscribe, you get the NEXT FOUR ISSUES. QRPARCI does not fill your subscription with back issues. Back Issues MIGHT be available on a per copy basis for a fee from the Toystore.? QRPARCI doesn't print many more than we have subs for, it's expensive, so if you want a back issue, do not delay in ordering it from the Toystore.? Instead of the back issues, you could buy a QQ DVD with ALL the issues since time began, or with the last 20 years only.? The DVD is updated with every single issue.? So if you missed the last issue, buy the DVD and it'll be on there. QRP-ARCI does not sell or rent our membership email list. You can check your membership status and QRP Quarterly Expiration date at If you have questions about your membership status, address changes, callsign changes, contact membership@... If you have questions about subscription issues, contact president@... If the website is failing you, please send email to webmaster@... The staff at QRPARCI will bend over backwards to get you happy, but keep in mind, they have real jobs, and they do this for you in their spare time, and without compensation.? So if you send in an email, don't be concerned if it takes a few days to hear back from them. If you are interested in being a staff volunteer, please contact president@... Here's to great DX and lots of QRP fun! de KB9BVN Membership Manager Brian Murrey -- 72 de KB9BVN |

CW Practice / Rag chew Announcement
开云体育 We had three folks at the CW practice
session on Tuesday. The band was good and as expected
it was crowded. SSN=146, SFI=162, A=8, K=3.
My next CW practice session
will be a week or so away I am going on vacation for a
week. Anyone is welcome. This practice is intended for
operators who are new to CW or they need some CW
practice. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR YOUR CW IS.
Mistakes are OK. Poor fists are OK. Slow speed is OK.
Really slow speed is OK. This practice is meant for
you to improve your CW. I will do my best to adjust to
your skill level. Operate at any power level. If
several stations show up, I will operate as a
round-table control station. I will do it as a
round-table so everyone gets a chance to transmit.
Please listen to my directions.
Details: Date - TBD Time - TBD Band - TBD How to find me - I will find a clear frequency and call CQ. Go to the Reverse Beacon Network and search for my call sign AB8DF. That will tell you what frequency
I am on. Tune your station to that frequency
and if you hear me give me a call. If there is
a QSO in progress, please wait for a break in
the action. Then send your callsign. If I hear
you, I will invite you to join the QSO and
start a round-table QSO.

Re: FDIM Buildathon
I see two offers on his site for FDIM 2025… One is the 2025 kit, and the other is the 2025 kit to be mailed to ones home. I will be attending in person… But am I supposed to buy the second one and bring it with me? Or is the first one for those attending in person, and Rex will bring them all to us en masse? How does this work?
