You forgot QRP Afield, the event run by the...Three. You forgot QRP Afield, the event run by the New England QRP Club. Promotion of it has been very low key in recent years, but it still happens and so far as I know it is on this year. It is always held on the third Saturday of September, which is September 19 this year. Rules are at https://www.newenglandqrp.org/qrp-afield-2018/ ; despite the URL, that page also lists this year and the rules are unchanged.<br /><br />The usual club gatherings in the spring didn't happen so there hasn't been any special discussion of the rules this year. But I believe that a backyard station will count as a field operation so long as no permanent installations are used; in other words, it only counts if you use a temporary antenna and run the station on battery power (plugging into the wall at home is just too easy).<br /><br />I will stir the club members and make sure that this information is accurate. Membership in the New England QRP Club is free and open to all, and your number is permanent.<br /><br /><br />Shirley Márquez Dúlcey = KE1LQRP - When you care to send the very least!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08707602309223956112noreply@blogger.com
