Celebrating the Power of QRP

With such a big emphasis in some parts of the amateur world on bigger antennas, bigger towers and of course bigger amplifiers, in IARU Region 3, members have been putting QRP operation in the spotlight. This is particularly true on 17th June 2023. They’re preparing now for a day of intensitified involvement in such QRP activities as QRP field days, QRP contests, instructions for QRP kit-building and publication of articles about QRP operating.

“....offers advantages concerning, among others, the reduction of QRM on the amateur bands.”

— Yuki JH1NBN, Region 3 Secretary
