It’s hard to believe that Four Days in May (FDIM) took place two weeks ago! What a blast it was! If you’re a QRPer, and you’ve never attended FDIM, you’re in for a treat when you finally do.

Four Days in May (FDIM) Offers a Slice of Low-Power Heaven for Ham Radio Operators

14 May 2024 at 13:44

Four Days in May (May 15-19), the annual celebration of QRP operation held by the QRP Amateur Radio Club International, is almost here! For a gathering that’s all about promoting low-power operation, you can almost feel the high levels of energy building as the date nears. Irony aside, this event once again promises to be filled with fun, homebrew competitions, learning opportunities, vendors, and door prizes, including ones donated by DX Engineering.

You can still register for FDIM at the event, held at the Holiday Inn Fairborn (about 20 minutes from Dayton Hamvention), the evening of Wednesday, May 15, and the morning of Thursday, May 16.

Click here for a rundown of what you can expect at FDIM.

Along with other vendors, DX Engineering will be displaying a range of ham radio products Thursday evening in the hotel ballroom. It’s an excellent chance to get your questions answered and check out some of the DX Engineering branded gear and products from leading manufacturers that will be available at the DX Engineering Dayton Hamvention booths from May 17-19.

Items include:

I’ve received a few messages from readers and subscribers about failed park activations over the past few days. It’s no surprise, really, since we’ve had several extended periods of HF radio blackouts with powerful solar flares and CMEs bombarding our planet. I experienced this firsthand on Sunday. We celebrated Mother’s Day with a picnic and … Continue reading It’s not you, it’s the bands! (Also, see you at Hamvention!) β†’
