The following are the most recent events of the NorCal QRP Club.



  • June 8, 2008:
    Once again Norcal has opened up online ordering for the following kits:
    2N2/XX Transceiver
    FCC-1
    FCC-2
    Power Meter
    Partial 2030 kits

  • March 1, 2008:
    It has become necessary for the NorCal QRP Club to suspend all kit orders effective immediately until June 1st, 2009, when they will return. Our volunteers are buried with other responsibilities and we have no other choice but to take a much needed break. All orders placed before this announcement will be filled, but please do not order any more kits from NorCal until we announce that the ordering window is open again, hopefully on June 1st. Thanks for all of your wonderful support through the years and your understanding at this time. Doug, KI6DS and James, KA5DVS

    The first set of 250 replacement transistors have been bagged up, stuffed into mailers and put into todays mail for people that received their kits in 2008. The remaining transistor kits will be in the mail by the weekend.

  • January 7, 2009:
    The MPSH10 transistors arrived yesterday and I am in the process of stuffing envelopes. My goal is to have them in the mail to builders by the end of the week. I have also been told that all kits that were purchased through December have now been shipped and there is currently no backlog. We also will be opening back up online ordering in the near future. Please check back here from time to time for the latest update.
