 Russ Ruby W7AU (QRP ARCI #13127) was rescued after breaking his leg in the Cascade Mountains, WA. Russ slipped and was injured near Buck Creek Pass on 21 September 2008. He had the presence of mind to set up his tent and change into warm clothing before calling for help on 40m CW using his Elecraft K1 transceiver. His signal was heard 600 miles away in Bozeman, Montana by Bob Williams N7ODM. Details were passed to local authorities but Russ had to spend the night in the wilderness before being evacuated from the site at 10.30am the following day.

 A new website to learn and practice Morse telegraphy has been launched - Learn CW OnlineThere are already hundreds of training programs, MP3/CD courses and practice aids available, but LCWO follows a radically different concept: While sticking to well-proven methods for learning and practice, all you need for using LCWO is a web browser! This gives the user the liberty to practice CW wherever an internet connection is available, always retaining the personal settings, scores and statistics. |

It all started in May of 2007. It was Sunday about noon and FDIM 2007 was about over. We sat down and discussed FDIM 2008. Some of us took about 4 months off, others were busy finding presenters, confirming the hotel requirements and rounding up volunteers. Then close to the end of the year the whole crew went into action. We built an improved registration system for both vendors and participants, rounded up door prizes, finalized logistics and interfaced with the hotel for reservations . . .

 The Winter 2008 issue of QQ features part one of a great design by Paul Alexander, WB9IPA. Unfortunately the article, entitled A Phasing Type Transceiver for the 60 Meter Band, suffered some kind of technical glitch and a few of the schematics are difficult to read. High resolution diagrams may be downloaded from the website - the file is a 147KB PDF and further details can be found at the authors own webpage. Non-members can ensure they receive QRP Quarterly by subscribing using the form in the right hand column of the homepage. Back issues of the QRP Quarterly Winter 2008 are available featuring part 1. |
