Michigan QRP Club Contest and Sprint Rules
------------------------------------------

Michigan QRP Club was established in 1978 with the goal to promote
low power communication, adopting the internationally recognized power
levels of 5 watts or less.

The Michigan QRP Club sponsors one contest and three sprints per year.
As well as being a lot of fun the contest environment offers us an
opportunity to test that new kit, home brew, or antennas. Gives us a
format to further develop our operating skills as well as re-acquaint
with old friends and meet new fellow QRP’ers.

If you’re not a hard core contester, come and join in the fun anyway if
for nothing else think of the skill development value. All members and
visitors from around the world are welcome and encouraged to join in.

Hope to hear you on the "test".
