The QRP-CONTEST-COMMUNITY (qrpcc) Sep. 30th, 2011 Lutz Gutheil, DL1RNN Bergstr. 17 D-38446 Wolfsburg Germany e-mail: [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] A touch of chirp possibly will be in the air when the QRP-CONTEST-COMMUNITY cordially is inviting to the 24th H O M E B R E W O L D T I M E - E Q U I P M E N T - P A R T Y ( HOT - PARTY ) at 20 - Nov - 2011 _______________________________________________________________________ Once a year homebrewers and enthusiasts of oldtime-equipment together are introducing their creations on the HOT-PARTY. A taste of chirp is in the air and switching from transmitting to receiving may last a little longer...Skilful revived museum pieces are giving signs of life as well as brandnew constructions around ICs and SMD. Loving restored and maintained commercial radio equipment meets rigorous homebrewing. You don't need a complete homebrewed station or a complete "line". An old RX or a homemade TX "stand alone" is sufficient for your entrance. No "taboos" like a 5W-QRP-limit narrows down the freedom of this meeting on the air. "Anything goes" like "HOT" suggests? Not quite so: the coincidence of "buy & plug & play & don't have the slightest idea about anything" is invited to stay outside the PARTY. - . . . . - GUESTS : operators of homebrew or more than 30 years old equipment CLASS A : TX a n d RX are homebrew or older than 30 years CLASS B : TX o r RX are homebrew or older than 30 years (A homebrew or oldtime TX or RX may be completed by a modern commercial RX or TX) CLASS C : QRP-TX below 10 watts input or 5 watts output, homebrew or older than 30 years CLASS D : Only valved apparatus without semiconductors (except for power supply).
