QRP organization adds satellite endorsements to its awards
Hey everyone, The QRP Amateur Radio Club International (QRP ARCI) has added satellite endorsements to many of its awards, which are available to all amateurs. Please visit the QRP ARCI Web site - http://www.qrparci.org/- and click on the Awards tab down the left side of the home page to see the various awards the group offers, and to get the guidelines for each award. I’m confident that many readers/posters here (especially those of you who, like me, enjoy the challenge of using a handheld station on the FM satellites and of using low power levels in general) probably can claim the Grid Square and/or All States awards right away – or, at least, very soon. Thanks to AMSAT and Bruce for its outstanding awards program, and thanks to QRP ARCI for giving us QRP addicts some other awards to shoot for with our satellite operations. 73 to all, Tim – N3TL Athens, Ga. – EM84ha

Hello Luc,
Your description is the one by which I have always operated QRP - that is, a maximum of 5 watts output CW and/or 10 watts PEP SSB regardless of the antenna.

There are acouple of stateside CW ops whom I wish would adhere to that power level on the old Girl (AO-7), as when they are on, they are "pumping" the bird so bad, no one else can operate.
