The Long Island QRP Club was established in 1996 by
Nick Franco - KF2P and Jeff Casey - NE2J .
It is the intent of the group to participate in existing QRP contests and events,
initiate a few events of our own, support other established QRP clubs, and promote the
building and operating of QRP equipment.  Above all, our purpose is to have fun with QRP!
LIQRP is a small, informal group.  We have no officers, no bylaws, and we do not collect
any dues.  We get together to show off our various pieces of QRP equipment, and to discuss
at length our tales of excitement and woe on the air and at the workbench.
Thus far, we have never conducted any “business” at our meetings.
Instead, our meetings and “QRPicnics” consist of  “show-and-tell,” informal conversation,
plentiful amounts of food, and trying out a few rigs on the air.
Our past meetings have been held at Sunken Meadow State Park in good weather and Nicky's
restaurant, a moderately priced establishment in Centerport, in inclement weather.
However, we are always open to new meeting locations in different parts of the Island,
including Nassau County. If you want to suggest a new meeting location, send an email to
the LIQRP listserver and post the information as to location.
One reason that the Club can maintain a "no dues" policy is that we rely on an email listserver
to keep in touch with each other. The listserver is the backbone of our group.
All meetings and activities are announced via the email listserver.


HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE LIQRP CLUB EMAIL LIST

To subscribe to the LIQRP Club email list please follow the steps below. These steps will be
familiar if you have had occasion to subscribe to other amateur radio email lists hosted by www.qth.net and www.qsl.net.


1. Point your browser to http://www.qth.net , Click on EMAIL MAILING LISTS

2. Click on "Directory of  LISTS".

3. Scroll down through the blue alphabetized list of abbreviated email list names until you find "LIQRP", then click on it.

4. Follow the instructions given under the heading "Subscribing to LIQRP". Specifically:
a.   Enter your email address in the box provided.
b.   Entering your name and a password are optional; the name box and the two password boxes may be left blank.
c.   Click "Yes" or "No" in response to the question "Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
           Most of our subscribers choose "No", since the LIQRP list does not have a great deal of traffic.
d.   Click "Subscribe".

5. You will shortly receive an automatically generated email message with a subject similar to "confirm
18d7b13834b543f434d1124543b6e82e8e253d66" (or some such random character sequence). Follow
the instructions in this email to confirm that you wish to subscribe to the LIQRP list.

6. Watch for a second automatically-generated email message saying that you are now subscribed to the
LIQRP list. When this message arrives, you may delete the previous confirmatory email.


Once you are subscribed, you can send a message to all
list members by addressing it to:
[email protected]

If you're new to the club, why not send a message to the list introducing yourself to us?
 We'd love to hear about such topics as:

- What got you interested in QRP?

- How your station (if you have one at present) is
set up, and what rigs, antennas, etc. you've been
using lately

- Projects you're working on or planning for the
future

- On-air operating activities that you enjoy or think
you might like to try

- Any questions you may have about the world of QRP --
there's no such thing as a "dumb" question or a
question too basic (or too advanced) for our group.

- Anything else on your mind that's at least
tangentially related to QRP. Why, we'll even
entertain the occasional QRO (high transmitter
power) question or comment, especially during the
doldrums of the solar cycle minimum!


 
At present, we have about 100 subscribers on the listserver.  Of course, not all of them live
on Long Island and we welcome members from all over the world. The LIQRP listserver is a great
place to ask questions and test out ideas that are "not ready for prime time" on the much
larger QRP-L listserver. You'll never be deluged with LIQRP messages, since the group is so small.

Once again, welcome to LIQRP!  We look forward to hearing from you and hope that you will
subscribe to our listserver and get involved in our club activities.  And please help us spread
the word that Long Island does have a QRP club!
72* & 73,
Members of LIQRP
* “72” means “have fun with QRP!” in QRP parlance.
