>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...

>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.
