I'm grateful to the KnightLites QRP club and all who joined in the 2nd
annual 49er/Pixie contest.
I was fortunate to take first prize in the 1st 49er contest in 1996.
And now I'm informed that I have won 1st prize again for the 1997
contest, with my 49er rig.
This little QRP club found the "hook" to get me running hard in there
contest. Offer real prizes!
Last year I won a GM-15 XCVR kit, and this year its a TICK keyer.
Im planning on putting the TICK in an Altoids tin and using it for all
my QRP kit rigs. Maybe put a paddle on it like the one in QST recently.
So again thanks for the contest, thanks to all the helpful folks here on
QRP-L for the 49er mods. And thanks to those QRP club stations I worked
in the contest! That's where I really racked up the points!
My $25. NORCAL 49er is fully tricked out, and housed in a Altoids tin,
with 1.26 watts @ 12v, under the hood.
Hey, NORCAL and KnightLites - What's next? That was FUN!
72/3'z de Jim AR QRP #2
