Upcoming QRP Conventions
The coming weeks and months are practically an embarrassment of riches for low-powered enthusiasts. Conferences are slated for the East coast, Midwest, and Mid-America and all that’s missing is you!
March 12-13
The first ever Massachusetts QRP Convention will be held March 12-13, 2010 in the Westford Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Westford, Massachusetts.
The Saturday conference has ten leaders in the QRP community scheduled to appear including QRP Hall of Fame members Dave Benson (K1SWL), George Heron (N2APB), and Joe Everhart (N2CX). Capping the conference will be Joseph H. Taylor, Ph.D. (K1JT) and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics (1992).
Conference admission, including the Friday evening meet-and-greet is $25 per person. Admission to the post-conference banquet is $40. Tickets for the event are on sale now at the event web site.
April 9-10
The confirmed dates for OzarkCon 2010 are April 9 and 10, 2010 in Branson, Missouri at the Stone Castle Hotel and Conference Center – 3050 Green Mountain Road, (Formerly the Settle Inn). Hosted by the Four State QRP Group this one is fast becoming a QRP crowd favorite. More information will be available on their Web site very soon.
May 13-16
The 15th annual FDIM is practically set. This is the mother of all QRP conventions and is held in conjunction with the Dayton Hamvention. Dayton is a three-day weekend and QRP-ARCI tacks an extra day on at the beginning making it “Four Days in May”. The main event is held at the Holiday Inn in Fairborn, Ohio. Special room rates are arranged in advance (but you’ve got to sign up early!).
There’s much more going on at FDIM than meets the eye so get in the loop and don’t miss out.
