Beginnings [January 1992]

The following article has been transcribed from the NEQRP newsletter archive by N1AIA.

This is the first Newsletter issued by QRP-NE the QRP Amateur Radio Club of New England.

QRP-NE was formed in December of 1991 in the hopes that NE QRP enthusiasts would respond favorably to a club which would promote QRP Amateur Radio locally, and provide QRPers an opportunity to meet and share information.

W1FMR had prepared a survey to assess interest in establishing a formal club, and invited attendees to let him know if each would be willing to serve in some capacity. Those that were interested in serving the organization were encouraged to provide that information on the survey sheet.

This newsletter and the potential for an exciting organization are the result of that meeting. The success of both the organization and the newsletter depends on you -- the active QRP enthusiasts of New England!
