WV3J (39) - Paul Helbert in Broadway, VA.
VE3SIC (78) - I have been out
of the radio scene for about five years. I used to be considered the QRP guru
in my area. At that time I used a Yaesu TF101s (that's the all transistor version)
toned down to 2 Watts output. I used gel cell batteries that were salvaged from
security alarms. They were constantly being topped up with a trickle charge. I
found that I could run them for 24 hours without a recharge! Because of antenna
restrictions, I experimented with various indoor designs with great success. Almost
all of my shack aux. equipment was homebrew. I had also designed and built a 14m -
250mw transceiver using a NE602. It worked quite well.
Now for the sad part. My x-wife liberated me of my complete shack. Now for the happy
part. I'm getting back into the game! I have applied to get my old callsign
back. The lady at the office said that it should be no problem.

a couple qrp email lists to make inquiries as to equipment etc. That is how I found out
about your organization. What I am planning on doing this summer is posting to qrp lists

N5WL (76) Bart says: Hi to VQS..
Sounds like my kind of organization; -) My name is Bart, call sign N5WL, QTH
is Woodward, OK. I am a retired public school teacher. I taught Social Studies at the High
School level for 33
years. I had my Kenwood TS530s set up in my Geography class and we won 4th place in
the School Club Roundup
several years back. My operation is now qrp/cw almost entirely. I am trying to
WAS with my NorCal 40A. I also
use a Ten Tec Argo 556. I am presently setting it up for qrp/pks31. I use a stealth uneven
dipole just above the
peak of my roof, one leg runs up to the top of a pine tree in my front yard and the other
leg runs down to the top
of a shed in my backyard. I feed my signal to this wire through a
LDG qrp tuner. And yes, I am a joiner :-)
Norcal #679, QRP-L #994, Zombie #500, AR-qrp #148, ARS #568, and Flying Pigs #11. Keep up
the great job on the

W6AXM (51) - Gar in Garden Grove, CA...name
here is Gar and Callsigns are K2IQR & W6AXM. AXM is my personal call and IQR belongs
to the company club. Before that it belonged to me -When I lived in Yankee land (New
Jersey). Current QTH is Garden Grove, CA, about 2 miles SW of Disneyland. My standard QRP
rigs are a QRP Plus and SG-2020. The 2020 is only used to batter down the walls of KW rigs
during pileups however so it really doesn't get too much use. My station antennas vary
between a tunable 36" loop and and ancient Mini-Products C-4 coaxial vertical. Most
of what I do is on SSB with a smattering on QRS CW. Of course when I really want to be
QRPp I use a KnightSmite $13 transceiver with tiny DC-DC converter that gives me 12 volts
when operated off of old Polariod filmpack batteries which will power it for about a week
straight. I also have a Collins KWM-2a station but it's more of the day-to day sked
meeting radio than just-for-fun radio. It generally feeds a Moseley CL-33 or a G5RV
multiband doublet. 72/73 to all de Gar - W6AXM
