SOUTH WEST ONTARIO QRP CLUB
The South West Ontario QRP Club is devoted to the enjoyment of low power radio in Southwestern Ontario. Membership is open to all hams who enjoy operating and constructing QRP equipment.
Through meetings, nets, newsletters, and mini-forums we hope to bring QRP enthusiasts together in our part of the province. We will work with other QRP clubs in Ontario on province-wide initiatives.
WHERE WE'RE LOCATED ...
Our club headquarters, and main activities, are in London Ontario. We have no firm geographical boundaries - if your car (or your QRP signal ) can make it to Southwestern Ontario, you're welcome to join us! You might say we're located to the East of the Michigan QRP Club and West of the Durham QRP Club (which draws its membership from the GTA).
CLUB CALLSIGN :
Our Club Callsign is VE3QRP (club trustee is Louis VE3BDV ldvermond@sprint.ca ). QSL cards may be sent directly to Club address ( SWOnt QRP, c/o 154 Guildford Cres. London, On CANADA N6J 3Y6) .
CLUB ACTIVITIES :
Join us Saturday Morning (starting at 10 a.m. at the Byron Tim Horton's - Commissioner's Rd West of Boler) for coffee and conversation. After warming up, we'll head over to Springbank Park to put "VE3QRP" on the air for the "Freeze Your Butt Off" QRP Winter Field Day. All hams & SWL's with an interest in QRP are welcome! (Talk-in 146.52 simplex if you're trying to find us in the park)
Watch this site for news of upcoming activities, or contact the club to be put on a mailing list. Members are encouraged to sign up on the Canada-QRP email reflector, for information on local and national events.

Louis VE3BDV and John VE3JC raise a toast to the formation of the SW Ontario club. The 5 watts fed to the 160 m tabletop loop on the right (or else the Alexancer Keith's) seems to be illuminating Lou. Who says QRP isn't magic?!?
