Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

For some QRP fun, try these on air events:

QRP Fox Hunt - The QRP Fox Hunt is a series of 90 minute events during which QRP stations "Hounds" attempt to work specific QRP stations designated as "The Fox." Generally there are two foxes (foxii) on the air each week The hunt is usually within +/- 10 KHz of a recognized QRP frequency 14060 kHz in the summer and 7040 kHz in the winter. The QRP Fox Hunt takes place on Thursday evenings (Friday mornings UTC). For more information on the Fox Hunts, visit www.qrpfoxhunt.org
.
Run For The Bacon - The Run For The Bacon is a monthly two-hour QRP CW sprint sponsored by, who else, the Flying Pigs QRP Club International. On the 3rd Sunday of every month at 8:00 PM Central, tune to your favorite pig frequency. For more info, visit: fpqrp.com/fpqrprun.html
.
Spartan Sprint - The Adventure Radio Society's Spartan Sprints are two-hour contests held the first Monday of every month at 8:00 PM Central. They are designed to encourage development and testing of lightweight radio gear suitable for outdoor human-powered QRP expeditions. Scores are reported in two ways. The Skinny Division reports scores as a ratio of contacts to the weight of the station. The Tubby Division reports scores as the number of contacts.

QRP Barber Shop Quartet Contest - Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find and work the "QRP Barbers" on as many bands as possible during the two hour period on the fifth Wednesday of every month with five hump days. The "Quartet" is made up of QRP stations ("Barbers") whose call signs end with the letters ESE ("dit-dididit-dit" ... "shave and a haircut"). For more information on this event, visit www.io.com/~n5fc/barbershop_contest.htm
.
FISTS Sprints - The FISTS Sprints occur four times each year: winter, spring, summer and fall. The object is to work as many FISTS members as you can during the four hour event. However, you do not have to be a FISTS member to participate. For more information on FISTS and the FISTS Sprints, visit: www.fists.org
.
Flight of the Bumblebees - The Adventure Radio Society's Flight of the Bumblebees is a sprint held every year on the last Sunday of July. Portable QRPers are invited to serve as Bumblebees. The Bees all agree to reach their operating sites by human power (hiking, biking, canoeing and kayaking). On Sunday, masses of home-based operators chase the Bees. To participate from a portable location in the Flight of the Bumblebees contest you need a Bee Number. You don't need to be a member to participate. New numbers are assigned each year. To get this year's number, send an email request to hjohnc@core.com any time up to the day before the contest and a number will be buzzed back to you.
