Något för hembyggaren?

A touch of chirp possibly will be in the air when the QRP-CONTEST-COMMUNITY

cordially is inviting to the

34th   H O M E B R E W  &  O L D T I M E – E Q U I P M E N T – P A R T Y

( HOT – PARTY )   at  21 – Nov – 2021

_______________________________________________________________________

Once a year homebrewers and enthusiasts of oldtime-equipment together are

introducing their creations on the HOT-PARTY. A taste of chirp is in the air

and switching from transmitting to receiving may last a little

longer…Skilful revived museum pieces are giving signs of life as well as

brandnew constructions around ICs and SMD.

Also soldering kits like Elecraft K2, K1 or Pixie, PFR3,  SW40, SW80,

SUDDEN RX TX, Sierra, BlueCoolRadio, QRP Labs QCX  etc. are very welcome.

Non soldering kits like Elecraft KX3 are only check logs-

Loving restored and maintained commercial radio equipment meets rigorous

homebrewing.

You don’t need a complete homebrewed station or a complete ”line”.

An old RX or a homemade TX ”stand alone” is sufficient for your entrance.

No ”taboos” like a 5W-QRP-limit narrows down the freedom of this meeting on

the air.

”Anything goes” like ”HOT” suggests? Not quite so: the coincidence of

”buy & plug & play & don’t have the slightest idea about anything” is

invited to stay outside the PARTY.
