> Hello,
>
> Today I emailed Doug Hendricks asking if I could make a Marin County
> chapter of the Nor Cal QRP Club for those
> of us who cannot make it down to the Nor Cal meetings.
>
> Doug suggested I use a unique name for the club, something that reflects
> where it is.  Doug never said I couldn't use the Nor Cal QRP in part of
> the new club name but I saw his point to use a new name that easily
> identifies it.   He gave his blessings for us to model the club after
> the Nor Cal QRP Club.
>
> Wanting to talk to other QRPers, wanting to share ideas, show projects,
> eat food and have fun is what made me want to start a QRP club here.  I
> am also hoping that some of us can build kits and operate portable
together.
>
> So I proudly announce the creation of the *Marin QRP Piglets*.  QRP is
> low power and piglets are small, QRP rigs are small and the QRP rigs are
> almost as cute as piglets.
>
> Marin QRP Piglets will have its first meeting in San Rafael in April.
> We welcome both CW and SSB QRPers
> as well as those interested in getting started in QRP.  Since Nor Cal
> QRP Club used to meet at a burger place, I am considering the burger
> joint next to Trader Joes in the Montecito center.  You can send
> suggestions of other places you would like to meet and eat.  Right now I
> am thinking of a late Saturday morning (11) to early afternoon depending
> upon how many QRPers show up and how long we want to stay.  The meeting
> date will be announced in the next week.
>
> I hope you will join me in attending the first meeting of the Marin QRP
> Piglets in April in San Rafael.
> I am looking forward to your ideas and thoughts.
>
> You can also email to the new club address at - MarinQRP at ispwest.com
