QRP ARCI is proud to announce that this year's featured Banquet speaker will be Ade Weiss W0RSP, one of the pioneers of the QRP movement as we know it today. Following the Awards Banquet, a special evening has been set aside for the FDIM QRP Vendor Social where prizes will be drawn. All are invited.
