Please Read First

GQRP is not a business but a club run by unpaid volunteers. You will find on this page contact details, email/postal, and in some case telephone numbers. Please remember that we have our own family lives, and although we endeavour to deal with your enquiry without undue delay, you should not expect an immediate response. If you telephone and do not get a reply we may be out or indeed on holiday. Please also note that a good many items on this page are reserved for fully paid up members only.

We must apologise to our German members - items we send to Germany are being returned by your customs people - unopened. No one (except them) seems to know why. The UK postal service does not know either, and cannot offer any advice! We are, of course, using the correct paperwork!


The GQRP Club has available three kits.

The GQRP Limerick Sudden Receiver, the Limerick Sudden Transmitter Kit, the matching Limerick Sudden ATU.
Please note that the TX and RX kits are just that, and do not together make a TX/RX as they were designed by George, G3RJV, as separate items.

To read more please click the appropriate item above.

Sprat-on-a-stick

Due to lack of sales of the Sprat on DVD, we are discontinuing this item and from now on, the Sprat archive data will only be available in Sprat-on-a-stick form. This is the 9th generation of the Sprat archive and covers issue 1 to 192. The memory stick data uses standards based html and has been produced in-house. It should work on all computers which have a web browser. We suggest that you copy the entire memory stick contents to your hard drive, and then make a shortcut to the "index.htm" file. The magazines are all in "PDF" format, and you will need either Adobe Acrobat (which is not included but can be downloaded for free from here), or any compatible pdf reader such as Foxit Reader.


Price to - members is £5 when ordered from club sales (either by post or paypal). Plus postage of course- £2.00 (UK), £3.50 (EU), £5.00 (DX)

Non-members can order the archive for £20 plus postage of course- £2.00 (UK), £3.50 (EU), £5.00 (DX).
Non-members who wish to purchase a copy of the Sprat-on-a-stick should contact Graham by email first to check that there are some non-member versions available. His email address is in the next paragraph.Please do not just send him money before contacting him. Thank you .


For UK members, we suggest that you send an email to Graham (g3mfj(at)gqrp.co.uk) requesting one and include your membership number and postal address. He will confirm stock, and suggest that you pay by bank transfer if possible to avoid Paypal fees.

We recommend that overseas members do the same, please check with Graham that he has stock, then order the Sprat-on-a-stick using Paypal.
Whatever country you live in you must pay online in UK Pounds with paypal. The currency conversion will appear on your credit card bill at the exchange rate at the time of purchase.

Overseas purchasers, you can use PayPal to order the Sprat-on-a-Stick, but only if purchased directly from the U.K.
Our DX reps do not offer Paypal facilities so please do not request this method of Payment from them. 

Warning!
Perhaps to the low value (which will be stated on the packaging) we seem to get most items direct into the members hands. However, we cannot guarantee that individual countries customs people won’t occasionally make an exception.
We have heard of a case in Holland where an extra charge of Euro 7.21 was levied.
We are selling the “Sprat on a stick” at a very low price to members, so in case of a customs charge, the member ordering should understand that they might have to pay the extra cost.

Members from Spain & The Netherlands please note.

Back issues of SPRAT.
Graham has very few back issues now as they were taking over the store, and as folks were requesting back issues less & less & less, something had to give. He now only keeps, in any quantity, back issues that are later than those that are on the Sprat-on-a-stick - memory stick, (currently 192 or later.)
So, if you want an issue earlier than 192, then you should check by e-mail before ordering!
Postage:-
UK : 1st magazine - 90p + 70p each extra magazine,
EU : 1st magazine - £2.20 + £1.20 each extra magazine,
DX : 1st magazine - £3.30 + £1.50 each extra magazine.
(Again, sorry about the huge postal charges - posting magazines is not cheap!) If you want more than 2 or 3 magazines, then you can ask for an exact postage figure.

90p
(US$1.25) each

How to Order.

The best way to order is to send Graham an email with a list of your requirements with the current price against each entry. Send it to sales(at)gqrp.co.uk
Graham will reply as soon as he can, with confirmation of which items are in stock, and the postage needed. We prefer payment by Bank Transfer (BACS), cheques, cash or PayPal (in order of preference).

For BACS, the numbers you need are 01-07-44 and 54738210 - THE G-QRP CLUB. (Banks seem to like
that our name is all in capital letters, and sometimes do not recognise our name in lower case).
You may also need to know that it is our No2 account and that we use the Rochdale branch.
Although our account is a club account, it is actually a business account and you may need to know
this if you are doing a bank transfer.
International bank transfers also work. The codes you will need for this are:
IBAN: GB 78 NWBK 010 744 547 382 10 : BIC: NWBKGB2L : THE G-QRP CLUB No2 account, Rochdale

Payments can also be made by cheques or cash. Cheques must be made payable to "GQRP Club".

paypal We also accept Paypal - please see our page explaining how.

Minimum order value for cheques and Paypal is £5, however, you can pay by PayPal for smaller amounts but you MUST select the "Friends/Family/Gift" option when paying, as this will mean that they will send us the full amount and not deduct any charge. This also works for larger amounts and helps the club a little. If you have a smaller order, then we accept cash, postage stamps (1st or 2nd class), or postal orders by post if you prefer this method.

Please note that due to problems with credit cards they are no longer accepted as a direct payment. We can only accept payments with credit cards via Paypal.

If you are not sure about the postage, or whether the items you want are in stock, you may email Graham first - see below.

Cash payments can be made in GB pounds, or US$ bills, or Euro notes only and should be sent to Graham securely. Remember that you do this at your own risk.

Orders may be sent in more than 1 package to keep within postal limits. UK members are asked to pay up to £5 with postage stamps (1st or 2nd class), postal orders (uncrossed), or UK banknotes (please send securely). This cuts down on our bank charges!


You can check stock availability by calling Graham on the number printed on the inside front cover of Sprat, but if he is not there, then you will have to call back. (Please do not expect Graham's family to be able to take orders or even discuss club sales business!). or email Graham
