All hams are invited to participate in our On-Air activities.
You will need to be listed on the 4SQRP E-Mail reflector or have attended OzarkCon to qualify for some Awards.
It's official,
the Group has a club call - WQ5RP.
Club calls are available for any club member to use at any time, as long as they
stay within the limitations of their own license class. ex. Advanced Class must
operate in the Advanced portions of each band. Can anyone think of ways to use
the call as a group? Maybe WAS or something?

We were fortunate that the call was released recently by Robert H Sorge, who is now K5VFO, and that our finding it was timely. I believe that all of the *Q*RP calls were taken before he released it, at least we couldn't find any. It's been been a long wait for a QRP club type call to become available, several years actually.
Bart Lawson WØIIT is the trustee and jumped through all the hoops to obtain it
for us. He said he wanted a sked with me today to test some settings on his K2.
I nearly slapped the paddle across the shack when he came back as WQ5RP.
Check it out on QRZ.com http://www.qrz.com/db/WQ5RP
Both KØN and WQ5RP will be used at OzarkCon. You are welcome to make
contacts from Branson using both calls if you'd like.
