FDIM Buildathon 2022

Friday 20 May 2022

FDIM 2022 - Buildathon by Rex Harper W1REX

This year we will be building a TTL Transmitter. This is an update to my original TTL Project.

As usual, the Buildathon room only holds between 40 and 50 builders so there is a limit to the number of seats available. I will start the list and see where that goes...the cost is $30.00 (USD)

FDIM 2022 2N2222 Power Challenge

Announcing - the FDIM 2022 2N2222 POWER CHALLENGE!

We QRP enthusiasts have developed a great reputation for doing more with less. Whether that is trying to break a record for mile per watt in a QSO, or designing a transceiver with fewest components, the design skills of our colleagues is undisputable. QRPARCI is presenting our community with the an opportunity to show off these QRP design skills with the FDIM2022 2N2222 POWER CHALLENGE! The challenge is simple: Design and demonstrate a crystal-controlled 40M PA to make the highest sustained power for a period of one minute using only two 2N2222 transistors. This event will take place at 8:00 PM Friday, May 20 during FDIM, and the winner recognized at the QRPARCI Banquet on Saturday, May 21.
