In conjunction with the Dayton Hamvention, the QRP Amateur Radio Club (QRP-ARCI) hosts what they call Four Days in May (FDIM). The highlight of FDIM is the seminar on Thursday, the day before the Hamvention starts. I’ve attended twice, and will most likely be attending this year. The seminar includes sessions on any number of ham radio topics, not just QRP. In the past, these have included antennas, software-defined radio, and making a regenerative receiver tuned with a lipstick tube.
Steve, G4GXL, writes to the qrp-l.org mailing list:
The team are now back from Hamcation (well, most of them), so we are now accepting online registrations for FDIM 2010 !
For those that are new here, FDIM is ‘Four Days In May’ and is organised by QRP ARCI. The biggest QRP event of the year which runs in parallel with the Dayton Hamvention. Anyone can attend – you do not have to be a QRP ARCI member. We expect around 400 QRPers this year at the Seminars, evening events and Gala Banquet.
To book for the Seminar and/or Banquet, hover over the ‘Register Here’ button and click on ‘Seminars and Banquet’. You can book for yourself and up to 6 other people on a single form. Pay immediately afterwards using Paypal.
The Buildathon can also be booked online with a similar procedure (place are limited to 30 !)
Room reservation details are on the website. Essentially – reserve through Hank K8DD to get the QRP ARCI group rate and free breakfast each day.
Any problems with registration – email me direct ([email protected]).
Any queries about FDIM to Norm, WA4ZXV (FDIM Chairman) at [email protected].
See you there!
