Introduction to QRP

QRP is the use of low transmit powers on the amateur radio bands. QRP gives its adherents a special sense of achievement when they contact a far away station while transmitting just a few watts. Output powers of 5 watts or less on CW or 10 watts or less on SSB are generally recognised as being QRP. Many QRPers build their own equipment from readily available designs. Virtually any facet of amateur radio (perhaps excluding moonbounce) can be done with QRP. Use the left hand menu to read more about the Australian QRP scene.
