	QRP operation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term QRP derives from the Q code where "QRP?" was used to mean, "shall I lower my power?".
		Communicating using QRP can be difficult since the QRPer must face the same challenges of radio propagation faced by amateurs using higher power levels, but with the inherent disadvantages associated with having a weaker signal on the receiving end, all other things being equal.
		QRP is especially popular with CW operators and those using the newer digital modes.

	QRP/Research Goals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The QRP's research goals and collaborative learning activities are to study the impact of international ties, state policies, and the use of natural resources (especially land and water) on the dynamics, continuities, and changes in Quertaro's rural communities and society.
		The QRP is part of a larger tradition of long term, team and empirically centered ethnographic field research focused on certain theoretical problems or (sub-national) cultural regions that has been pursued by certain cultural anthropologists in the past (e.g.
		QRP researchers meet on a regular basis to discuss their research, prepare papers for conferences and publication, and to add to the QRP data files.

	ARRLWeb: QRP -- What, Why and How (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Since the sensitivity of most QRP receivers outstrips the effective range of their transmitter, a signal that is very weak may be impossible to work.
		The QRP Q signal was created to mean "Shall I reduce power?" but has since been adopted by the enthusiasts of low-power operation as their banner.
		QRP transmitters usually consist of a few transistors, and for HF work, the layout is not particularly critical.

	A QRP Expedition Above the Clouds - Part 1
		During this time, the first QRP clubs were created which helped the low power operators share information about various components and circuits and set up skeds for low power operation in an organized fashion.
		As part of this new QRP club movement, power levels to be considered as true QRP were determined and set as 10 watts.
		Therefore, the QRP gear and antennas and other equipment have much less weight and is easy to pack and carry by comparison.

	QRP When Less is More
		QRP Worked All States is a piece of cake, and I would bet a higher percentage of serious QRPers has done it than the HF crowd as a whole.
		QRP equipment can be very simple, but the fact that we are working with lower power circuits means that experimentation and inventiveness are possible for all of us.
		Your typical QRP transceiver is thoroughly optimized for operation on a single band (or a few bands), CW only, and with very efficient signal processing from front-end to headphones.

		The maximum allowable transmitter ouput power one can use and still be generally recognized as "operating QRP" is five watts.

	QRP: Low Power Radio - Bry's HAM PAGES by AF4K
		The challenge of QRP is to operate and/or build CW (Morse Code) or voice (AM & SSB) radio transmitters (& simple receivers) for the amateur bands using a bare minimum of components, money and construction skill; equipment that is useful for radio amateurs looking for some diversion beyond their regular pursuits.
		For the rest of us, QRP and homebrewing is more practical and often more interesting to see just how far 'flea-power' can go (QRP is a Code signal meaning 'decrease power' and has been adopted by amateurs working with an output power of 5 WATTS or less).
		The basic transmitter was previously published a number of years ago in "73 Amateur Radio Today", Radio Fun" and in our own QRP Quarterly, and he decided to brush the dust off the design and extend the functionality just a bit for the holiday season.
