 And speaking of QRP, here's something of interest to QRP'ers... 
 
 Date:    12-27-00 
QRPers of the area, UNITE! 
 
This is the second announcement of the first meeting of the Houston QRP 
Club. The meeting will be held on Saturday, January 17,  1998 from 9 AM 
to 11 AM with lunch to follow at a nearby restuarant for those who care 
to stay. 
 
The location will be my office conference room, 5718 Westheimer at Bering 
Street (one block west of Chimney Rock), Suite 970.  Plenty of free parking 
in the garage (please remember to remove your big mobile antennas). 
I will be monitoring the 146.700 (- offset) repeater for anyone who needs 
directions and who works QRP that high. 
 
We will be discussing what we want in a local club so this is the chance 
to come have your input! 
 
As mentioned in the first announcement, there will be a free gift for 
everyone who attends - a 2W audio amplifier kit courtesy of the St. 
Louis QRP Club and K5BDZ. 
 
Also there will be a special prize for the person traveling the farthest 
to attend the meeting.  Someone in Austin is making noise about winning 
that one. 
 
If you would like to make a presentation on some favorite subject, please 
email me.  We have good presentation tools at work. 
 
There will be coffee and pastries so you can even sleep late and still 
have a fine morning of total immersion QRP. Please RSVP via email so that 
I know how many hungry QRPers to expect.
 
By all means, bring your latest QRP project to show and tell. 
 
And remember, if you are one of those who die for low club member numbers, 
you'll kick yourself if you aren't there!  Bill and I will fight over #1 
and #2.  Glen will want PI.  But everything else is fair game :-) 
 
So be there!  Pass the word on to the unconnected in all the area clubs.
