The New England QRP Club invites you to check in to our weekly net, join us at one of our gatherings, build a NEScaf or 79er, work WQ1RP, participate at NewEnglandQRP.org, or simply enjoy your QRP with our 73.
The February meeting was sensational as many people from far distances came to the Holiday Inn at Killarney's Pub in Nashua, NH to celebrate the dawning of a new QRP radio year. In addition to the sunshine, snow lay on the ground and a cold bite permeated the air, but these were mitigated by the comradery and warmth among those attending our "spring" meeting. A complete photo album of smiling faces, with thanks to our faithful photographer Bob Schmeichel - N1RXV, is viewable at n1rxv.com.
Registration on newenglandqrp.org is currently limited due to a dramatic increase in robot registrations. Please contact us directly if you would like to contribute to the site. We plan for this action to be temporary.
A special winter NE QRP meeting will be held February 2, 2013. Bring your friends, your neighbors, your relatives who know what the New England QRP Club is all about and all of your friends who love QRP and building QRP gear.

A delta or delta conyne kite is better for low-wind condx, and that looks to be what appears marooned on a pole yesterday.
As for Saturday's QRP to the Field, I decided that 40m's skip distance would best favor my five Watts making it into the Red Flops Nation. My log shows:
