KCØHSV QLF video! 		Our annual picnic meeting took place on Saturday, September 12, 2009 at the home of KØFRP way out in east Aurora! The weather was a bit gray but a great time was had by all!

 

In the "olden" days of radio the international "Q" signal "QLF" was definitely not a compliment! When received, it meant the Morse code you were sending sounded so bad as you were probably sending it with your left foot! So, at the Colorado QRP Club's annual picnic we usually feature a QLF competition to see who sends the best with their left foot (or, right foot in the case of those operators who are naturally left-handed). The event is always a lot of fun and the judges go to great lengths to score on speed, "clarity," and other characteristics of your sending. At this particular picnic N1FN came in first place followed by your humble webmaster, WB0JNR. The judges, who's decision is final, were KIØRB and NO2D - possessing many decades of combined Morse experience!
