New Article: What is TPQSO?

The George S Ladd Radio Club (Golden Gate Chapter) invites all Telephone Pioneer Radio Amateurs to participate in the 44th Annual Telephone Pioneer QSO Party. The Telephone Pioneer QSO party combines Telephone Pioneering and Amateur Radio. It is a great chance to renew old friendships.

Help us celebrate the 44th Annual Telephone Pioneer QSO Party. We are making an effort to contact everybody who has operated in recent years, to make the 44th a great event. There are over 150 on the mailing list plus our friends who get the information from our web site. So we should see a lot of activity.
