CASCADE QRP CLUB BREAKFAST -- WEST SIDE!!
Starts around 9:00 a.m. (but some show up a little earlier!)
December 11th: 13500 SW Pacific Highway, Tigard
Home Town Buffet (formerly Old Country Buffet)
When I first became a ham in 1973, I wasn't all that successful. I never had a lot of contacts, and the ones I had were defintely not very DX! And I didn't have a clue about cool QRP! So after a couple of years, I kinda lost interest. Fortunately, I kept all of my gear, and when I got back into it in '98, I did a few things differently. First off, I developed a whole bunch of local friends that were hams, in most cases they were mentors and Elmers. That group grew larger when I finally started attending the Cascade QRP Club breakfasts. There were a lot of other things that I had done different than I did in '73, but having all of you as contacts, mentors, info sources, opinion providers, Elmers, whatever you want to call yourselves -- that was the best thing I ever did. If I had done it in '73, I think I would have been MUCH more successful! (Of course, learning a bit more about antennas and loading them properly sure helped a bit, too!)
See you Saturday!!!
