TLARC Happenings
It's Fall!
Fall is here, and with it comes the start of contesting again after the long
hot Summer.
Our TLARC leadership team highlighted a number of contests for each month of
2019 that best reflects the interests of its membership ... whether it be
taking to the field with QRP, hiking up a mountain to do some QRO work,
working from a homebrew or boatanchor station, or just operating from a nice
and comfy position there in your own shack!
Take a look at the ones listed below and circle your calendar. Maybe get
together with another like-minded ham for a combined or instructive
"adventure" of using CW, phone, or even the newest cool digital mode: FT8.
Notes:
1) We included state QSO Parties because
it's a nice time for guaranteed activity if you are a QRP operator;
2) We included the major ARRL events
when present;
3) We included the specialty QRP field
events ... for our TLARC Field Nuts Team ;)
4) We will likely team up on at least a
few of these activities using the club callsign KN4DUA;
5) Details on each of the contests we
list here are linked in master Contest Calendar ... <https://www.contestcalendar.com/contestcal_qrp.html>
6) We will be including OTHER ACTIVITIES in this list. For
example, see the TLARC MEETINGS listed each month. What else can we
list for Club Activities?

to tag along with some of us to see what it's like ... maybe even try
nabbing a few Qs of your own!
And lastly, please let us know what other activities of general club
interest we might have and we can get it on the Calendar.
