The HOMEBREW & OLDTIME-EQUIPMENT-PARTY is a liberal event: there are no
taboos like exceeding the 5W QRP limit or operating commercial equipment.
So we meet 'trendy' multi-IC low power test equipment as well as loving
restored S-Lines from the 50ies or even One-Tube-TXs from the 20ies.

In all cases don't forget to test your equipment in time to avoid a
"bombshell" during the HOT-Party. Which has happened not only once...

P.S. If you don't know us yet:

The QRP-Contest-Community (qrpcc) is a supra-national network of qrp
enthusiasts (at present about 150 promoters from 12 nations) pursuing the
organization and promotion of QRP Contests since 1992.
The qrpcc may be viewed as a support group taking care of the QRP'ers
interests in a self-help manner.

Since 1996 the qrpcc carries out the ORIGINAL-QRP-Contest, designed for
genuine QRP gear. The HOMEBREW & OLDTIME-EQUIPMENT-Party (HOT-PARTY) since
1997 also is organized by qrpcc, taking place at 3rd Sunday in November. 
The newest qrpcc event is the QRP-MINIMAL ART-SESSION at Ascension Day .

The promoters of qrpcc are private persons supporting the idea by personal
participation in organizing, log-checking, translating, etc. or by 
contributing to postage costs.
