[MiQP-Mail] CW question

[John Baumgarten]

Whew!  Taking on a LONG out of area call like that plus QRP!  You must be a big supporter of that group!  I think I found you last year, so will try again.

Note that K6JSS is the club call of the QRP Amateur Radio Club International, in the same way as W1AW is the club call of the ARRL.  There's a "big 13" recognition contest amongst the QRP ARCI membership, so people are encouraged to use K6JSS during State QSO parties.
