This one looks like it could be interesting. I normally just hand out contacts from the semi-rare state of Kansas, and have not sent in a log in years. But this sounds like it could be fun. Though I've had better luck calling CQ towards the end of the contest, after all the big guns have been worked. Best 73 es God Bless. Ric KA3LOC/0/QRP

Rick,
Saw your post about the QRP activity. Pls go to the site on the link highlighted in the post and sign up for KS. I don't care that you might not operate 15 hours or call CQ all that much. WE JUST NEED A KS station to sign up.
THanks.
Jim = president of QRP ARCI
ps we'd like to have you renew your membership in the club. It's changed a lot since you were a member in 1993: http://www.qrparci.org/arcijoin.html You can pay via paypal too, now. It's all there.
THanks for your consideration.

I have operated the CW Sweepstakes at 5 Watts output several times now. Last year my antenna consisted of a 75 foot wire that ran up the back wall and over the roof of my rented townhouse, working against just one ground rod. I made plenty of contacts, even snagging the Yukon and Pacific sections from Maryland.
Three weeks later I tried QRP in the Phone SS and gave up in frustration after about an hour.
But QRP CW really works, especially in a "domestic" contest. If you've never tried QRP contesting, give the CW SS a try.
