For those that don't know, FDIM  (Four Days In May), is the annual
conference of QRP ARCI (QRP Amateur Radio Club International).

It all takes place in Fairborn, a nice area on the outskirts of Dayton OH,
 and it runs in parallel with the famous Dayton Hamvention.

FDIM is open to everyone - not just QRP ARCI members. The event will appeal
to anyone interested in home construction, antennas, portable operation,
Arduino  -  it is definitely not just for QRPers !

We start with a day of seminars on Thursday 14 May and a Vendor Evening
where traders can show and sell their QRP related merchandise (a table at
vendor night is provided free of charge - let me know if you need one).

On Friday 15 May we organise buses from our hotel to the Hamvention.
Late afternoon we start the annual Buildathon (this year building 4 items
of test gear) - it's a social activity with support for inexperienced
constructors. It also includes a Pizza Party !
Friday evening is 'Club Night'. An opportunity for regional QRP clubs to
promote themselves and recruit members. The evening includes various fun &
games and our Homebrew Competition.

On Saturday 16 May there are more buses to the Hamvention and the FDIM
Grand Banquet with awards and prize giving.


As ever there are plenty of door prizes (several $1000s worth).
The raffle will be for an Elecraft KX3 with accessories worth $2000+.

Those that register online for the seminar will get free entry to the
Seminar draw.
Last year we gave away four Ten-Tec transceivers !
Tickets are not available on the day - it's just for those who register
online.
