A note on the QRP ARCI home page tonight indicates that there are currently three, but that is nothing new...and incorrect, to boot. There have actually been three lists called qrp-l on different hosts for several years, with two of them mostly inactive. But tonight I discovered that even that is not correct--there are actually 4 or 5, depending on how loosely you want to define things.

Googlegroups has a QRP-L as well, #4, and it also has something called recradioqrp-l, which is #5, sort of, although the QRP-L is buried within the name.

BTW, Googlegroups also has a QRP-F, so we have two of those! I signed up for all three of the Googlegroups tonight, bringing the total combined membership of all 3 to 17 :-) And on one of them I am 50% of the membership.

Over the years a number of alternatives to what I call "the real qrp-l" have been set up but none have knocked it off the top of the hill yet.

73 and queue our pea DE WA8MCQ
