NOTES:

  The HOMEBREW & OLDTIME-EQUIPMENT-PARTY is an open event: there are no
  taboos like exceeding the 5 W 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...

If you don’t know us yet:

  The QRP-Contest-Community (QRPCC) is an international network of QRP
  enthusiasts (at present ~130 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. Real QRP, not just downregulation of QRO. There
  are up to 300 participants in the OQRPC.

  The HOMEBREW & OLDTIME-EQUIPMENT-Party (HOT-PARTY) since 1997 is
  organized by the QRPCC, too. Up to date homebrewing meets nostalgia
  (may be with a little chirp).

  The youngest QRPCC "child" is the QRP-MINIMAL-ART-SESSION born at
  Ascension Day 2000. Skillful and eye-winking minimalism but no
  mindless "plug and play but don’t understand anything".

  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.

  There are 7 weeks time left for a simple homebrew project. Maybe you
  will find your one in a list of "Simple QRP-Homebrew-Projects"
  uploaded in <qrp> in Packet Radio (or just type: c < dj7st).

  We would be very pleased to hear many stations from your country.
  So please pass this invitation over to the contest column editor of
  your ham radio magazine. If you do it right now (by e-mail) there is
  a good chance that an invitation could be published "just in time"
  in the November issue.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Hpe cuagn in HOT-PARTY!

  Best 73/2 de Hal, DJ7ST
