A Message From HamCon Colorado 2020 Chairman:
[Ed. Note: CQC regularly assists in sponsoring HamCon...]
HamCon Colorado / ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Convention 2020 is Officially Postponed Until 2021
With a great focus on social distancing and not holding large social gatherings, we are officially postponing HamCon Colorado 2020 until 2021.
We realize that there are lots of concerns from our attendees and we want to make sure that we can have an event that everyone will be comfortable in attending.
The new convention date will be announced at a future date when preparations are made for the venue.
Once the venue (CU South Denver / Lone Tree, CO) returns our funds, we will promptly return all registrant funds via Paypal if the registration was done in the last 180 days less the small fees that Paypal retains.
If the registration was done outside of 180 days, we will be sending a live check.
We apologize for the late date of postponement, but we want to make sure you're safe.
We're looking forward to 2021 already and our committee is already engaged on making the 2021 convention even better than 2020!
Stay tuned for more information.
Thank you for your interest in HamCon Colorado.
Sincerely,
John Maxwell, W0VG
HamCon Colorado 2020 Chairman

Help us find a new meeting location!
|
For many years the offices of Morse Express has hosted our meetings. However, they've since moved to a new location so we're now holding meetings at various locations within the Arapahoe Library District - very nice facilities but they just aren't home!
So, the Colorado QRP Club is looking for a permanent location for our bimonthly meetings. 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 |
