FDIM 2016 Buildathon

Price: $35.00 - By Special Request. Please email


Once again, W1REX (the me in QRPme) has been asked to host the Buildathon session at the QRP-ARCI Four Days in May event. The Buildathon event will be held on Friday starting at 4:00 and ending just in time to enjoy FDIM's Club night in the ballroom.
This year's Buildathon kit will be a special version of QRPme's Limerick Paddles with built in PicoKeyer.

As usual, the Buildathon will also include a time out for a complementary pizza party so that builders won't miss dinner while we build. Directly after the Buildathon, the now sated builders only need to take a short walk around the lobby in order to enjoy the FDIM Club night being held in the adjacent ballroom.

We will now be using the *USUAL* format of the Buildathon so we can now register 35 builders....So there are 5 spots remaining! Ddon't wait until the last minute to sign up! After that, you will just have ro resort to picking up you kit at the FDIM Buildathon and taking it home.....
