Chuck, et al,

Back in 2018 I generated a complete index for QRPp and placed 3 copies, sorted various ways, and placed them in the Files section of your old Qrp-tech group. Just checked and they are still there. They are pdfs titled something like “Complete Index of QRPp…”. I also have the original Excel file, I think. I have changed computers a couple of times since then and might take a while to find but will post it to this group if so.

Enjoy!

?Don,

I was in the process of emailing you, but let me do it here.

Can I get your permission to put the three files into one pdf and
put it on archive.org with the 11 volumes to be perserved forever
and ever.....

It would be appreciated by the Universe at large.

thanks,

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 archive.org 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 archive.org 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 archive.org or send it to me and I'll make sure it
gets there.

Thanks for this Chuck. I downloaded all 11 volumes a few years ago, from your old site, I believe. It's good to have the other scans that are on the Internet Archive, as well as Don's index (thank you Don). QRPp, for me, exemplified the spirit of homebrew QRP amateur radio. Far more interesting than pages of full color glossy ads for brand new commercial gear. Plus, the aesthetic and form factor of QRPp was spot-on. The physical journal was a manageable size, just inviting one to thumb through it multiple times. I don't know - maybe it's just me, but I find it more fun to leaf through a small publication like this, than a full-size 8.5 x 11 publication. I'm a member of GQRP, and enjoy SPRAT for the same reasons too.
Good stuff, good stuff. Thank you, thank you!

Great resurse.
I have vol 9, with 294 pages, full OK on my HDD. If you will not find, I can to send via transfer (have 82+Mo).

Doamne, ce resurs?.

Mul?umim tuturor celor care au contribuit la punerea la dispozi?ie.

Cred c? acum am colec?ia ?n folderul Hamradio de pe unitatea mea local?, pentru a fi f?cut? o copie de rezerv? ?n seara asta.

Am desc?rcat versiuni PDF de pe archive.org, inclusiv indexul.

Pe PDF-ul pe care l-am tras ?n jos pentru Vol 9 Number 2, PDF-ul este grozav pentru aproximativ 9 sau 10 pagini... apoi toate spa?iile goale.

Are cineva un PDF bun al acela pe care ar putea fi dispus s? ?l partajeze? Am ?ncercat desc?rcarea de c?teva ori, acela?i rezultat.

Mul?umesc din nou lui Chuck ?i Don pentru aceste fi?iere.?
