Please be advised that the internationally recognized QRP calling and
operating frequency centers on 7030 KHz, ± a few KHz, and many QRPers
will be out during the QRP To the Field on Saturday (QRPTTF), times
coinciding with the Florida QSO party. Many of the QRP rigs are crystal
controlled, so will need to operate within the suggested FQP mobile
frequency "window."
I mention this only to alert the contesters. The QRP folks do not
intend to interfere with the Mobiles, and we assume that the mobiles
will not intend to interfere with QRP stations. We all realize that no
one has a "right" to any frequency, and we will attempt to not interfere
with the intent of the FQP operations.
However, in my experience, contesters (and I'm a semi-die-hard
contester) do not always share the same viewpoint.
72/73 de n8xx Hg (Operating QRPTTF beginning at 1500Z Saturday, April
28 and ending about 0300Z Sunday, April 29)
I might say "give my 4.9 watt "peanut whistle" a break. :)
