QRP Night - Emily Oaks

An evening for Fire, Fun and Friends. QRP NSRC style

Emily Oaks QRP Night 2025

We had a great turnout of approximately 20 club members for this year’s QRP night. If I counted correctly, we had 3 stations on the air. We also had some visitors which found us on the internet and hopefully we can welcome them again in future events. A big thank you to Howard, N9RUI for organizing it.

If anyone took pictures please send them to me and I will post them here (communications@ns9rc.org).

Emily Oaks QRP Night

The North Shore Radio Club annual Campfire & QRP night will be the second Tuesday in September. 7:00pm.at the Emily Oaks Nature Center in Skokie. Emily Oaks is at Brummel and Kenton - just north of Howard St., two blocks east of Skokie Blvd. A map is referenced below or just use your GPS. Bring your QRP rig, battery, antenna, and some insect repellent, just in case campfire smoke isn’t enough to keep bugs at bay. Beverages and s’mores will be provided. As the days grow shorter, it’s almost dark by 7:30, so recommend you get there early to set up an antenna. 40, 30, or 20 meters are usually the bands of choice. Once again there will be “Emily” awards for QSOs that cover the greatest distance per watt, with separate categories for CW, SSB and digital. Bring a friend!

There will be no club meeting at that day !
