The December issue of QST is jam-packed with all sorts of things that today's Amateur Radio operator needs. From product reviews to experiments to contesting -- including an expanded holiday advertising guide and the 2011 ARRL Field Day results -- the upcoming issue of QST has something for just about everyone. If you are looking for something new to try during the cold winter months, why not rise to the challenge of QRP CW operating? In his article "A 2 W Logic Chip Transmitter," Lew Smith, N7KSB, presents an easy-to-duplicate transmitter that you can put together in no time at all. Once you have your transmitter ready to go, you'll need to hook it up to an antenna. But what kind of antenna? ARRL Technical Editor Joel Hallas, W1ZR, takes a look at some HF beam options in his article "How About an HF Beam Under Your Holiday Tree?" Pumpkin patrol protects drivers, highways. "The Madison-Oneida (NY) Amateur Radio Club manned 13 overpasses in Madison and Oneida Counties on Halloween…..Since 1988, state police say the presence of the Pumpkin Patrol has reduced the rate of Halloween incidents from approximately five per year to zero."
