I hope this board wakes up as QRP becomes popular again. Seems pretty dead around here.

I've been an off and on QRPer since the 1970s, when as a novice I used an HW8 (or was it an HW7?) to operate from summits while backpacking all over California long before I knew anything about SOTA (did it even exist then?).

Although I have a legal limit QRO station at home, I still love getting on the air during a backpacking trip with a lightweight QRP CW station - simplicity and fun; and I never fail to make QSOs.

My current setup is a TR-35 that I built from a kit; the entire station weighing about 2.4 pounds.

Hello,

I have an old ATS3B.1 I haven't used in years. I am dusting it off to start using it as I learn the POTA system. Most HF rigs in this RV campground park hear all of the birdies from the PWM converter chargers. I was first licensed 40 years ago and it is like Rip Van Wrinkle waking up and trying to get back into the hobby again. I am looking at getting an FT-818, but in the near term have built an end-fed half-wave tuner kit and will be cutting some wire soon for picnic table operation.

73,

Dave - KU9L

This was a friend I made out at a potential POTA location, he had many brothers and sisters to keep me company.

 Hello All.  New to QRP and am looking forward to making contacts with QRP.  My name is Roy, AF5XB.
I live in Brandon, Mississippi, just East of Jackson, Mississippi. 

I need to find frequencies that this group uses and times that most are on the air. 

My contact info is good on QRZ.  If you would like to schedule a time for a QSO, send me a text or email.

73,

Roy

Antennas / Doublet antenna

Just one antenna here, an 2 X 11m doublet with 450 ohm ladderline. In the of it there is an antenna tuner made by SV1NL. Between tuner and coax a choke balun. Just an antenna and a t/x, I operate mainly qrp 5W through last 6 years about, this configuration gives me a lot of fun and dx communications, even dxpeditions. 73
