Join us on the Colorado QRP Club’s QRP Information Net Monday - 8 pm MST/0200 UTC - on the 145.460 repeater in the Denver-Boulder area; 145.160 in Colorado Springs; 147.225 SW of Castle Rock. They are all linked together. 107.2 tone for access. Also, check in via Echolink as well. We are using the Colorado Repeater Association repeater network (www.W0CRA.ORG). We meet every Monday night on the net. While we focus on QRP, ham radio is our thing: operating, antennas, new rigs, contests, POTA/SOTA, building, etc.

All are welcome. Membership not required.

This week, we’ll probably opine a bit on the CQ WPX RTTY contest, which may or may not involve QRP ops, Fox Hunts, and the club’s contests.

WE ALSO WILL INTEGRATE WITH A ZOOM SESSION. HERE IS THE COLORADO QRP CLUB ZOOM MEETING INFO:
