QRP

The QRP section is dedicated to low‑power HF and VHF operating, with a heavy focus on simple transmitters, minimalist transceivers, and practical on‑air results. Here you’ll find classic designs like the Mighty Mite, OXO transmitter, Mosquito TRX, and modern SDR‑based rigs such as sBitx and ZBitx tuned for portable use, all built around parts that are easy to source and experiment with. Articles emphasise repeatable circuits, clean keying, stable oscillators, and output filters so that your 1–5 W signal is both efficient and pleasant to copy at the other end
