It would be difficult to find 2 more "QRP happy" sites than those of Jim, AL7FS and Dave, W0CH. Both have excellent items of interest and also have articles on "Why QRP?" which are always fun to read.

I'll highlight a link to one of their very interesting pages and you can do the browsing from there . . .

David Saylors WK4DS is a machinist with a love of CW. If you are looking for a quality paddle, check out these hand made, built to order works of art.

Bill W4STX (ARCI #8609) sent us this photo for the My Shack feature - the first to be received from a member when the website went online in July 2005.

If you have a photo to send please contact the Webmaster for details of where to send the file.

This weekend, NorCal announced another new kit at Pacificon. The FCC-1, designed by QRP ARCI member Bob Okas, W3CD.  The kit sells for $35 and is available now.

The NorCal FCC-1 is a highly flexible frequency counter that incorporates features not found in any comparable unit. Its small size allows it to be incorporated into your favorite rig and your battery will hardly notice its modest current requirement.

Marshall Emm (N1FN) of Morse Express has announced this years' Christmas Key - this officially marks the start of the countdown to the big day.

The Morse Express Christmas Key is a fully operational miniature key, hand machined from solid brass, under-plated with nickel and finished in 18 carat gold. It measures 2" by 1" at the base and weighs 3-1/4 ounces.
