This group is a continuation of that which was started several years ago and abruptly terminated in early 2008, instantly restarted here. Portable QRP operation during the winter months (late fall to early spring) during the weekend closest to the Full Moon, what we call Polar Bear Moonlight Madness, is our group in a nutshell. This is a "closed group" meaning that to view most of the content herein you need to be a member of the group. Anyone can be a member of this group without having a Polar Bear number. If you would like to participate in our activities such as Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Events and would like a Polar Bear Number to identify your white fur status please contact NK8Q or WB3AAL. Issuing of a Polar Bear Number requires that you either have previously been or are now active within the spirit of the objectives of PBMME, oh, and to have fun! Some have asked about Polar Bear Numbers and we have not changed or reissued any as this is just a continuation of the previous forum.
