*Call for submissions*
We have some great stories in the current issue, but we're low on articles
for the coming months. Long or short, we'd love to see it, as long as it relates to QRP CW somehow.

*Really short is just fine.* Don't feel like you have to write an article.
The Member Submissions section is a great place for a line or three about
that great DX you worked on a watt and a wire, that new gadget you built
for the shack, or the worst thing that happened to you on Field Day. Photos
are always welcome!

We also need your story for our *Member Spotlight feature*. How'd you
become a ham and what have you done with that license? Tell us about it.

Send your submissions and questions to Paul KD2MX: kd2mx@arrl.net

*Problems downloading the file?*
We sometimes receive reports from members who have had trouble downloading
the newsletter. With very few exceptions these have all been traced to
issues associated with moving large files through the Internet. Exactly
where on the Internet the problems develop is impossible to say (GoDaddy?
Your ISP? Some intermediate node?). But we can say that the original file
on our website has been double checked for integrity. Here are some tricks
that have worked for others:

Browser warnings: We're working on updating, but our website is still in
the Internet security dark ages, so you may get dire warnings. They can be safely ignored for website reading and newsletter downloading, but don't
give us your bank details!

- Refresh your browser. The same link is used for the
current newsletter each month and some browsers and/or ISPs might not
realize that there is a new file to download. (This one seems to solve a
lot of the problems.)
- Wait a while before attempting the download. We have had a few members
report that they at first had a problem with the download but were
successful an hour or two later.
- Try accessing the newsletter by going to the newsletter archives on our
club website (in Past Issues) instead of via the direct link in this
email.
- Download the lower resolution version of the newsletter. The pictures
will not be as crisp but its a completely acceptable copy of
the newsletter and its as much as 1/3 the size.
- Be sure that you have the latest version of your pdf viewing software.
Older versions of Adobe Reader sometimes give a "corrupted file" error
report on files that are actually perfectly fine.
- For a worst case scenario please contact me and I will chop up the file
into smaller parts and send them to you in individual emails.

I hope that you enjoy the newsletter. Comments are always welcome.
