[K6BW] Announcing a NEW QRP CLUB in MARIN!!!

[MarinQRP]

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.
