Woohoooo qrpme! Thanks for doing this episode! Our entire shack (mostly portable though it may be) consists of qrpme kits. I'm delighted, and really surprised—based on what everyone's told me about QRP—that our RockMite coupled with a Tuna Topper running 4 amps did a great job—I think—in the California QSO Party a few weeks back and in the ARRL sweepstakes over this last weekend.

The rig made 32 QSOs during the QSO party, and in 3 and a quarter hours of operating in the sweepstakes over the weekend, the rig made 17 QSOs!

The kids and I have had a blast with these rigs because they're easy to build, easy to fix or mod, and they just work.

Thanks again for covering the QRP kit side of the hobby!

My buddy asked to see the link for the Dayton building that is being torn down.

We were there but the new Xenia location is better

Sorry but don't walk and text while in the trails
