Help us find a new meeting location!
|
For many years, before his passsing, Marshall Emm hosted our meetings at his place of business. After that, we
made full use of various locations within the Arapahoe Library
District up until the pandemic - very nice facilities but they just aren't home! So, the Colorado QRP Club is looking for a permanent location for our bimonthly meetings once there is no longer a health threat. The library works great but there's never a guarantee as to the availability of rooms and, like we mentioned above, "There's no place like home!" Please contact search committee members KIØRB or WBØJNR if you have any ideas or suggestions about a semi-permanent meeting place that we can call home! |
SOTA anyone?

Summits on the Air (SOTA) is an award scheme for radio amateurs and shortwave listeners that encourages portable operation in mountainous areas. SOTA has been carefully designed to make participation possible for everyone - this is not just for mountaineers! There are awards for activators (those who ascend to the summits) and chasers (who either operate from home, a local hilltop or are even Activators on other summits). |

Our domain name, www.CQC.org, was stolen in March, 2015 - well over six months before it was due to be renewed. The Colorado QRP Club had owned this domain name since 1998 when we first created it before anyone else. The webhost and registrar, at the time of the theft was Parcom.net with wowrack as their parent company. Tucows held the domain name but, being Canadian, was especially difficult to work with. Overall, none of these companies, after repeated requests for assistance, provided any assistance in protecting our domain name or recovering it. We've filed complaints with ICANN, the Washington State Attorney General's office (where the registrar was located at the time of the theft), and the various webhosting companies and registrars associated with our domain name since it was stolen. Name.com, here in the Denver area, eventually held the name but would provide no assistance, either, so we filed a theft complaint with the Denver Police Department (Report 2018-6007948). From what we've learned, at this point, is that we're going to need a court order, and the assistance of an attorney, to recover our domain name. Please contact your humble webmaster, or any of the club's officers, if you can help. Until then, we'll continue using this mirror site (www.coloradoQRPclub.org) until we're able to recover our domain name. Thank you, everyone, for your assistance and support! - WBØJNR, CQC Webmaster and Treasurer |
