There is a FDIM History link on this page that will provide some look back at past FDIMs to wet your appetite for this year's premier QRP event!

Thursday, May 16, 2002 will be the Seminar Day and it consists of 3 speakers in the morning, a lunch break and four speakers in the afternoon. A total of seven presenters will fill the day, and the Authors' Social that evening will provide another opportunity to talk to the presenters regarding their talk.

We have a lot of great offers for papers and it was very difficult to decide from all of the excellent choices that we had. I would like to thank all
that made the offers and without any additional delay, here is the schedule:
