  • QRP ARCI Challenge - The BIG 13

    Each year QRP ARCI organises an operating event known as 'The QRP Challenge'.

    In 2013 the challenge is to work at least 100 QRP ARCI club members to qualify for The BIG 13 Award.

    There was a time, in the 60s and 70s, when QRP ARCI members were working each other on QRP and exchanging membership numbers. In fact, some of the early issues of the QRP Quarterly were filled with reports from members showing achievements working other members – tracking their totals.

    You may (in fact, are encouraged) to work members multiple times even though only the first contact in 2013 will count. Numbers exchanged during QRP ARCI contests will of course count toward your totals.  You'll also be asked for the name of your favorite local, regional, or international QRP club (if you have one) and special recognition will go to those clubs who turn out the greatest number of members playing.

  • What's New in 1.5?

    This article deliberately archived as an example.

    As with previous releases, Joomla! provides a unified and easy-to-use framework for delivering content for Web sites of all kinds. To support the changing nature of the Internet and emerging Web technologies, Joomla! required substantial restructuring of its core functionality and we also used this effort to simplify many challenges within the current user interface. Joomla! 1.5 has many new features.

    In Joomla! 1.5, you''ll notice:

    • Substantially improved usability, manageability, and scalability far beyond the original Mambo foundations
    • Expanded accessibility to support internationalisation, double-byte characters and right-to-left support for Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew languages among others
    • Extended integration of external applications through Web services
    • Enhanced content delivery, template and presentation capabilities to support accessibility standards and content delivery to any destination
    • A more sustainable and flexible framework for Component and Extension developers
    • Backward compatibility with previous releases of Components, Templates, Modules, and other Extensions
