Fun QRP event on Sunday: The 'Pig Out'

George N2APB
 

Here's a forward from the Flying Pigs QRP list concerning their fun annual event called the “Pig Out”, happening Sunday afternoon from 1:00-4:00 ET. 

 

I’ll be playing along.  If anyone new to ‘field ops’ wants to join me (at dual arms-length) to see or try QRP-in-action, you will be most welcome!  I’ll be using my Elecraft KX1 and an EFHW, either from my back yard or over at the Dam Overlook Park.
