One especially relevant detail for QRP operators: the North American QSO Party SSB specifically includes QRP categories, with QRP defined as 5 watts maximum. Contest Calendar The Keyman’s Club of Japan Contest also lists a 5-watt QRP category. Contest Calendar
I can also make ContestCalendar.com the standard source for the weekly contest section and format each weekend’s information as a clean WordPress-ready table with Date | Contest | Mode | Bands | Start | End, followed by a short “QRP Picks This Weekend” section.
