Resources
Pointers to material that I felt was worth keeping a link to for later. Sadly some of these sites are going offline, so I'm also trying to capture web archive links.
K7QO's Lab Notebook
Chuck Adams, K7QO, kept a running experiment notebook. One long PDF, worth the download. His site at k7qo.net is gone. The Internet Archive's August 2016 capture still has it:
K7QO Lab Notebook — 404 pages, 88 MB PDF, last revised July 2016. Captured 4 August 2016.
The same capture holds his home page, which indexes the rest of what he published: the K7QO Code Course, Morse audiobooks, and construction manuals for kits that are long out of production. Note that several items there are marked "all rights reserved" and, in the case of the audiobooks, "do not copy to another site" — so treat the whole site as all-rights-reserved and download for your own use rather than redistributing.
Adams is also the one who scanned the QRPp run below.
QRPp — Journal of the Northern California QRP Club
QRPp was written and published by NorCal and Doug Hendricks, KI6DS, from 1993 until 2004: construction articles, technical references, and first-hand accounts from a period when the QRP world was growing fast. Chuck Adams, K7QO, did the scanning that put the run online.
The original site at ncqrpp.org is gone. What follows points at the Internet Archive's capture of it:
The QRPp archive index — Wayback Machine capture, 3 December 2014.
Individual volumes, one PDF per year. Big files — the largest is 79 MB, and the full run is a little over 400 MB, so think before tapping one on a phone connection:
| Volume | Year | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Volume 1 | 1993 | 9 MB |
| Volume 2 | 1994 | 44 MB |
| Volume 3 | 1995 | 30 MB |
| Volume 4 | 1996 | 31 MB |
| Volume 5 | 1997 | 28 MB |
| Volume 6 | 1998 | 68 MB |
| Volume 7 | 1999 | 29 MB |
| Volume 8 | 2000 | 21 MB |
| Volume 9 | 2001 | 79 MB |
| Volume 10 | 2002 | 67 MB |

Terms
The archive index carries an explicit condition, quoted here because it governs what anyone may do with these files:
All the issues of QRPp have been made available on line for your own personal use. It may not be copied to any other on line site without the written consent of Doug Hendricks, KI6DS.
So this page links to the Internet Archive's copies rather than mirroring them here. If you want a local set, download them for yourself from the links above.
