[Elecraft] getting started with QRP

[Phil Anderson]

Hi Mark,

One resource you might like is this QRP website: www.4sqrp.com

It is a QRP club that has many activities and a yearly convention. Also 
includes a monthly newsletter and various kits (which support the annual 
event). Super bunch of hams.

72, Phil Anderson, W0XI
