Title: How to call specifically QRP CLUB members on HF?
Post by: G0BVZ on January 11, 2014, 12:54:53 UTC
OK, let's say I want to call & QSO fellow QRP Club members....

If I want to QSO fellow GQRP club members I can call CQ CQ CQ GQRP DE G0BVZ  K and so on.  If a GQRP club member can read my QLF CW, then we can QSO...

If I want to QSO fellow QRP Club members do I call CQ CQ CQ QRPC DE G0BVZ  K   ?

I've not found mention of a 'standard club CQ call' but maybe there should be one for this situation. QRPC may already be used by another club: I just used it as an example.  A directed call is useful to those without internet access and to purists who enjoy the challenge and rewards of traditional pre-internet hf operating. What do you think? Is this an idea worth following up? Can you dream up a good club CQ call? I  think short & snappy is good! As an incidental  benefit, CQ CQ CQ CLUB_ID DE G0BVZ type calls may raise awareness of this club, which is A Good Thing.

In the moment I'm in UK. Here some say (very loudly) it is not allowed to call ...DE G0BVZ/QRP so to be safe I guess callsign/club ID is not advisable for UK club members.
