Updated 28th October 2011
The year 2011 will mark QRP ARCI's fiftieth or Golden Anniversary. In 1961, we started out as a 100 watt club interested in reducing QRM, and have transitioned into a group of operators, hikers, builders/experimenters, and contesters that pursue this great activity at five watts or less.
One way the club will mark this anniversary is to activate the club call in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia throughout 2011. A QRP ARCI member/volunteer will be assigned one week during the year in which they can use the club call, K6JSS from their location. We encourage them to operate with K6JSS with as many modes and as often as possible during their assigned week. A special Worked All States certificate will be issued to all that qualify.
The club needs volunteers to make this happen. We need one member/volunteer from each state, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. The member will agree to operate using K6JSS during their assigned week. John Burnley, NU0V has volunteered to coordinate this effort for the club. He will work with volunteers to assign a week for their area and insure that the club trustee is notified. If you wish to volunteer, send an email to John at

. He needs your call and location plus any weeks during 2011 that are not good for you.
I hope to see all 50 states plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia on the air during 2011.
