Re: [CalQRP] The QRPp Journal of the Northern California QRP Club, Volumes #1 to #11 [long]


 

Hi Chuck,

There is already a "complete" (1993-2003) QRPp index created by K5DW.
There are 3 files: QRPp Complete Index by Article.pdf, QRPp Complete Index
By Author.pdf and QRPp Complete Index by Date.pdf.

To download the actual index files, first login to and go to the qrp-tech
group, then click on "Files" on the left side, then go to page 2 of the files, or just
search the files in qrp-tech for "K5DW".

Gang,

?From 1993, the year in which the NorCal Club was formed, until 2003,
Doug Hendricks, KI6DS, expended considerable energy, time and expense
to provide a quarterly publication so indicated in the title of this
posting.

I personally, and I'm positive (like a proton), that I am not the only
one that considers the work one of his best works.? Consider herding
cats.? That would be much easier than getting a bunch of ham radio
guys and girls to sit down and write about their adventurers using,
building and reviewing everything known to mankind to be published.
Well, related to radio stuff and the hobby.

Being an early member of the club and a devote hoarder I bought and
saved every issue.? A few years after the publication stopped I wanted
to be very sure that the work could be preserved.? I scanned in, as
best I could with the equipment that I had, every issue.

I then gave the work to Doug and he had it on the home page of the club.
He gave up the club to a committee (as clear as my feeble mind can
remember) and left everything in their hands.? The page was last
updated 2019 as shown there.

I recently discovered the work has disappeared from the home page.
The link is broken.? I contacted Doug and asked his permission to put
the work on for posterity.? Archive.org is a valuable
resource and I hope and I pray that their work will continue forever.

So, if you go to <> and search for 'QRPp Journal',
you don't need the whole string you will find my postings and you will
also find some uploaded by another individual that you may find useful.
I am not a fan of the grey contrast myself.

It is there for the non-commercial use of the audience and not for
transfer to other sites.? Besides, the files are huge.? Feel free to
download them to your drive(s).

One of the things that is it uses ABBY Fine Read 9.0 to do
OCR of PDF material and creates a file thereof.? I started a long time
ago and tried to create a table of contents for all 11 years.? It was
too much for me.? But now, with the ASCII text, maybe some hero can
come forth and create same by selective cut and past of the text files.
There will be some typos, I've found no OCR program on the Earth that
is 100%.? None.? Not even AI could do it.

If you get bored, if you want to look at history, if you are looking
for adventure or you are looking for a Manhattan Project, either easy
or hard, then the above 11 volumes could be a goldmine for you.
Let us know.

ciao,

chuck, aa7fo, NorCal #40

P.S.? I want to thank Wayne Burdick, N6KR, and the club for naming a
rig after me.? :-)

P.S.S.? If you have a better scan of one or more of the issues, please,
please, put it up on or send it to me and I'll make sure it
gets there.
