Hi QRP'ers. It's time again for the K3Y QRP Challenge.
Although the Challenge is no longer an official part of the SKCC event,
I
will be managing it, using a separate web page, QRP log submission,
results
page, prizes etc.
This year's Challenge is open to all Hams so, it should be a real
blast. It
will run from: 0001 UTC 18 January 2013 thru 2359 UTC 31 January
2013.
For complete rules and access to score submission and review results
once
the event is under way, go to: www.qrpchallenge.com/ . Prizes to be announced on
the web site.
You might ask; Why QRP Challenge? For bragging rights, of course!  Happy.png)
