Description

This group is open to licensed amateur radio operators only, please supply your amateur callsign and first name when requesting membership. Requests for membership with no callsign or name supplied will be rejected to help eliminate spam to the group. The group is dedicated to field QRP operation, especially the Monthly QRP Field Day event that is held on the last full weekend each month, but is not limited to the monthly event - operate in the field anytime you can and let us know about it - we want to know about your QRP field operation ! If you are interested in QRP field operation, this is the group for you ! Get out and enjoy mother nature and your wonderful hobby at the same time ! Field operation doesn't have to be a fast paced high stress contest, just get out and have some simple fun and rediscover the fun of having old fashioned qso's ! If you don't want to travel to participate, just set up in your back yard or on battery power from the house - the main idea is to simulate emergency field operation ! Together, we can show the world that low power works ! Hope you have fun ! di-dit... NOTE: The moderators reserve the right to deny membership to anyone if need be to keep peace in the group. MQFD is open to licensed amateurs only, and requests for membership without supplying your valid amateur callsign and first name will be denied.
NOTICE: WE ARE NOW HOLDING A MONTHLY 4 HOUR SPRINT ON THE SAME WEEKEND OF THE REGULAR MQFD EVENT. MEMBERS CAN VIEW THE DETAILS IN THE FILES SECTION HERE ON THIS SITE.
