Greetings from Virginia!!
QRP-L CD Version 3.0 CD-ROM
The QRP-L CD Version 3.0 is now available. This is an accumulation of many years (1993-2000) of QRP-L messages. Included on the CD are the archives that are indexed by date and by keyword. (See Details below.)
From the CD itself
Well, it's finally here! Version 3 of the QRP-L CDROM, and since version 2, we've had a lot of changes on the list, the startup of QRP-F, a much more active and aggressive QRP ARCI, and a new millennium!
This CD contains the entire QRP-L archive for the 20th century, as well as a few months of the 21st. (1993 through sometime in April 2000)
Much of the material for this one is the same as Volume 2, except, of course, for the updated archives. (look below signature block for an extract of info (long)). If you have anything you can contribute, please send it along to WB8RCR for the next release. I'm sure your fellow QRPers would appreciate your sharing.
I (WB8RCR) have included the latest version of QSLMaker - you saw it here first! And also in the QSLMaker directory is a set of new background bitmaps. These are especially for ARCI members (QRP Amateur Radio Club International) who want to display the ARCI logo on their card.
There are links to the HTML directories and the QRP-L archives.

How to Order:
Ok, now how to get your own Version 3 copy of the CD. de N4NMR
CD Options
I can supply a blank CD or accept one from you.
Plan A: Your blank CD
---------------------
Put a blank CD in one of those plastic sleeves (i.e. don't send the jewel box). Put this CD in a sturdy cardboard mailer. Put your mailing address on the mailer. Put postage on the mailer. (Typical postage is 80 cents, though if you use a bubble mailer or one of those thick padded mailers it might be 78 cents.) Now put this mailer into a larger (of course) mailer addressed to me (see below). Write your name AND email address on a small slip of paper and enclose it as well. You can also send me a USPS Priority Mail shipping container if you want it shipped back to you via USPS Priority Mail. The postage on that will be $3.20.
Plan B: I provide blank CD
--------------------------
Send a check for $10 (regular mail return) or $12.50 (USPS Priority Mail return) payable to "Michael Bower" to me (see below). Please enclose a self-adhesive mailing label with your mailing address. Write your name AND email address on a small slip of paper and enclose it as well. If you don't have a self-adhesive label just put your mailing address neatly on a piece of paper that I can cut out and tape to the package.
Send your package or envelope to
Michael Bower - N4NMR
43304 Wayside Circle
Ashburn, VA 20147-4621
Using PayPal
You may also submit a request via PayPal (www.paypal.com). My address on PayPal is the same as my e-mail address - [email protected]. There is no additional charge for PayPal. So use this if you are paying $10 or $12.50 from plan B above.
What I will do:
Upon receipt, I will email you to confirm receipt of your package--IF you remembered to enclose your email address :-) I will mail your package to you the next business day.
Questions?
If you have questions, send e-mail to me at [email protected]. Please make the subject line "QRP-L CD Question".
73,
Michael
