[Elecraft] FDIM 2015 - please register soon !

2015-04-01 Thread Steve, G4GXL
Just 6 weeks from now FDIM 2015 will open its doors for attendees to pick
up their badges and goody bags.

We need some time to finalize arrangements so, if you plan to attend FDIM,
please register now !
Details are on the FDIM webpage - www.qrparci.org/fdim


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.

Registration details can be found at -  www.qrparci.org/fdim

[Elecraft] Announcement : Four Days In May (FDIM) 2013 at Dayton, OH

2013-04-28 Thread Steve, G4GXL
'Four Days In May' or FDIM is now well established as one of the biggest
events affiliated to the Dayton Hamvention. 2013 will be the 18th year for
FDIM. We expect 400-500 visitors this year.

It is organised by the 'QRP Amateur Radio Club International' - QRP ARCI.
If you run a kiloWatt don't dismiss this QRP event - there is plenty of
interest for everyone.
Over the years our visitors have been treated to sneak previews of several
Elecraft products (including the K3 and KX3) and, once again, our raffle
prize is an Elecraft radio !

Full FDIM details are at www.qrparci.org/fdim

We kick off with a day of seminars on Thursday 16 May
Our speakers include Roy Lewallen W7EL, Rick Campbell KK7B and George Dobbs
G3RJV.
This is followed by a pizza party and Buildathon - we mentor those less
experienced constructors and everyone will complete a construction project
before the end of the evening.

Thursday evening we have a presentation from Ten-Tec which is followed by
our Vendor Evening - an ideal place to buy kits, components, antennas,
paddles and complete transceivers. It's a busy evening, but exhibitors
still find time to chat and answer questions.

Friday evening is our QRP Club Night. Fun, games, socialising. QRP clubs,
groups and email list members can use a table to promote their interests.
Our famous Homebrew Competition is judged by everyone attending Club Night.

The conference ends on Saturday night with a Grand Banquet, QRP Hall Of
Fame Induction, prize  draws and awards ceremonies.

Our raffle prize is an Elecraft KX3.  Door prizes include Begali paddles, a
Buddipole, an AlexLoop antenna and dozens of others !


Events on Thursday and Friday evenings are free of charge.
Tickets for the Seminars, Buildathon and Grand Banquet can be bought online.

Everyone buying an online seminar ticket will be entered into a draw to win
a Ten-Tec Argonaut VI.  All those attending either the seminar or Banquet
will have free entry into door prize draws with 1000's of $$ of prizes

All of our events take place at the Holiday Inn, Fairborn which is just a
few miles to the east of Dayton and around 20 minutes from the Hara Arena.

Full details are at  www.qrparci.org/fdim
Please join us - all are welcome !

[Elecraft] OT - QRP Quarterly Spring 2009 issue

2009-04-24 Thread Steve, G4GXL
I just loaded some details of the latest issue on the QRP ARCI website
- www.qrparci.org

Look below the FDIM article !

Haven't had time to read mine yet, but it looks like a cracking issue.

There's some ideas for a decent performance 40m rig from Harold Smith KE6TI.
It uses bits that even I have in my junk box, so you probably do too.

AA1TJ describes a single transistor transceiver

Chris Trask N7ZWY has a design for a transmitter using only 2ns and 1N4148s

There's 15 pages of Idea Exchange and it's all good stuff

There are some great outdoor features. Guy N7UN and Steve N0TU (now
WG0AT) and the goats climb Uncompahgre Peak. Meanwhile Brian, N6IZ
climbs Mt Whitney and operates his KX1 and 32 foot vertical on the
14,505 foot peak !

Ed WA3WSJ tells us about the January Polar Bear Moonlight Madness
Event (just read it !) operating in the snow on the Appalachian Trail.
Bill N8ET describes his adventures sailing on the Great Lakes; and
Paul W0RW/pm has an article called 'How To Operate Pedestrian Mobile'
- which he does from Pikes Peak, CO at 14,110 feet

This is an epic issue - a bit like a Bill Bryson book, but with
circuit diagrams.

[Elecraft] FDIM Speaker is named 'Amateur Of The Year 2008"

2008-04-13 Thread Steve, G4GXL
Last year at FDIM we had Lyle Johnson KK7P as one of the seminar
speakers just two weeks after the Elecraft K3 was announced.

This year we have another presenter in the news.
Ward Silver N0AX has just been named 'Amateur Of The Year 2008'.
He will be delivering the opening presentation at the FDIM seminars entitled -
   "How To Dance With The Elephants - QRP Contesting Strategy and Style"

[Elecraft] Re: [QRP-L] ANNOUNCEMENT: QRP-ARCI HF GRID SQUARE CONTEST

2008-03-11 Thread Steve, G4GXL
For anyone still unsure about Grid Squares, I added a short article on
the QRP ARCI website homepage (just below the FDIM feature) -
http://www.qrparci.org

It contains a few links to some excellent resources.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Ham radio promotional video

Its a very well done video showing ham radio and contesting. Worth a look.



It certainly is well done.
The music is from The Ham Band and they have an album of equally good
ham related (and very witty) tracks. I downloaded it for just $10.

I put the video and download details on the QRP ARCI site -  www.qrparci.org

The file on Karl's website is actually a copy of the excellent G4FON
software from Feb 2004. - version 6.0.11

You would do much better to go directly to Geoffs website at
http://www.g4fon.net/  and download the latest version 8 software
which is better suited to WinXP

[Elecraft] QRP ARCI Website

2005-07-09 Thread Steve, G4GXL

Apologies for the slightly of-topic post . . .

After 2 months of work by a whole bunch of people the new QRP ARCI
website went on-line at 1900z today.

Please take a look and create an account for yourself (no details are
passed to 3rd parties). Later, we will be adding some members only features.

Already, there have been 120+ visitors from a dozen countries.

We still have some tweaking to do so the site may be up and down a few
times this week.

As for content . . .
We've hardly started ! Much, much more to come in the next few months.
Check out the QRP calendar - if you have an event, rally or contest then
  update the calendar on-line now !

You are also welcome to submit articles (in plain text) and jpg photos 
for inclusion on the site. I would particularly like to hear from 
someone who could do an Elecraft kit build and take photos of every 
stage to put into a kind of 'comic book' feature on the web.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: SMT kits?

2004-08-10 Thread Steve, G4GXL
> SMT work requires ... a few pieces of extra
equipment if one is to be successful <

One useful piece of 'extra equipment' is a vacuum
cleaner with a piece of nylon stocking stretched over
the nozzle.

Then instead of spending 30 minutes on your hands and
knees looking for the SMD component that you just
dropped (and is almost certainly the only one for
which you have no spare), a quick swipe with the
Hoover should find it.
