Greetings Everyone! 

Well, I'm sure we have all heard the news that the Dayton Hamvention has been canceled for 2021. The unavoidable consequence of this is that QRPARCI will also cancel the physical FDIM convention. 

That said, the hard work of lining up speakers and topics for our convention has already been performed. We will have a VIRTUAL FDIM, with a host of interesting and informative topics. We will be ironing out the details of this over the next month, and updating the membership as we go.

I look forward to this event, and then gathering again in 2022. Until then, stay healthy, optimistic, and radio-active!

QRP ARCI is a club for low power enthusiasts worldwide.

We produce a professional quality magazine (QRP Quarterly), organize an annual conference at Dayton ('Four Days In May' or FDIM), and sponsor various QRP contests and awards.

Our aim is to promote QRP and a variety of related activites. Many of our members enjoy home construction, kit building, antenna experimentation, backpacking and portable operation. Minimalist radios built in small tins are very popular but we also enjoy the very latest high performance radios such as the Elecraft KX3, the new SDR rigs, and great kits like the QCX from QRP Labs, kits from 4 States QRP Group, and the uBitx rigs. 

Let us know if we can promote your club, group, kit or product.
