- Thanks to all who gave me info on finding the QRP archives on
- think.com. (I love the Unix system and its command structure. But
- then I also love sitting in the middle of mosquito infected swamps all
- night long. One of the engineers at work responded to my comments
- about Unix by pointing out that Unix begat CPM and CPM begat DOS, and
- that says it all!) I've been able to get right down to the bottom of
- the directory tree and see all the individual goodies; I can't do any
- downloading yet due to unfamiliarity with the terminal software, but
- I'm almost home. Thanks again. 73 and Queue Our Pea DE WA8MCQ

- I just survived a week-long writing workshop and thought that
- I should rest my mind by reading back issues of SPRAT. All 34
- of 'em. So here's some questions and comments and stuff.
-
- 1. There's a tiny little key pictured on page 18 of SPRAT #53.
- Anyone know who made that and if similar little keys are available?
- I would think that a lot of the dyed-in-the-wool QRPers would
- like to have one like it. I remember seeing the little key at
- a Dayton Hamvention a couple years back. Neat stuff, these pocket
- radios.
- 2. Theres a picture on the cover of SPRAT #73 that shows a book
- called "The Joy of QRP." Anybody know where that's from and if it
- might still be available? Which brings up the question: Who is the
- US representative that can sell me a couple G-QRP publications. I
- always have misdirected priorities when I'm at Dayton and hanging
- around in QRP Corner. I know that I could have bought that book
- then, but who worries about books when I can worry about getting
- a couple meg of memory cheap.

- 3. Whatever happened to the little magazine "The Milliwatt"? And
- what's this QRPp that I keep hearing about? Is that a magazine too?
- Are there really people on Mars? Should I call my cat in when it
- rains? Do I ask too many questions?
- 4. While I was poking around the shack, I realized that I haven't
- had a QRO contact in weeks. Maybe that's why I'm having so much
- fun. If conditions are good, I am on the air. If they're mediocre,
- I'm on the air. If they're poor, I read a bunch of stuff and then
- I ask a lot of questions. Funny how that works out.
