A message from QRP-Canada and The Phantom Benefactor

The Phantom Benefactor has a Christmas Gift for someone special.

If you know of someone who wants to operate CW but currently does not have the means to get on the air, email a brief write-up of his/her circumstances to Bruce Rattray, VE5RC.

Bruce will ask The Phantom Benefactor to select one, and if your entry is chosen, he will send you a beautiful NorCal-20 QRP transceiver that has been expertly modified to operate on the 40 Meter band.

Of course, the lucky individual should have an excellent paddle, so the The Phantom Benefactor will include a genuine Bencher iambic paddle. As the sponsor or Elmer of a deserving amateur radio operator, you will be able to give him or her this nice new rig at Christmas. Please don't delay as Christmas is getting close!
