New Jersey QRP Club

NJQRP CLUB MEETINGS

Where? Brooklawn Senior/Community Center

When? 9am-Noon

Pre-meeting Breakfast: Metro Diner (optional, see below) at 7:45 am

Our club meetings are held at a nice, clean and spacious room at a community center located just minutes across the Walt Whitman bridge coming from Philly. There is a large parking lot, as well as a splendid little "back yard" for occasions when we want to pitch some experimental antennas, demo some portable equipment, or even sit outside on the nicer days!

And for those interested in additional gab time over bacon and eggs, we have a standard tradition of having a pre-meeting breakfast at the Metro Diner, located just a few short blocks from the Community Center (Route 130 and Browning Lane, see map below) at about 7:45 am. In fact, most people pass the restaurant just after exiting the expressway when coming to the meeting, making it easy to get to the meeting after breakfast. We also have lunch afterwards at the Metro Diner for those interested in prolonging the enjoyment of meeting up with friends and talking QRP!

Our meetings are informal, with no officers, dues or parliamentary procedures! We get together for show 'n tell of our latest QRP and homebrewing projects, and to share information on same. Normally lasting about 3 hours, the meetings sometimes go longer with specific field measurements or bench work with the scopes, solder stations and other homebrewing tools brought along for members to use.

Check out the discussion on the club's email reflector (NJQRP on Yahoo! Groups) for the latest information on general topics or themes that might be planned for an upcoming meeting.

Of course we'll also be continuing the practice of having members take a few minutes to review their latest projects or radios. This is always a fun part of the meeting for us!

Sure hope to see you there!
