FDIM? Field Day in Malta?
You really should have said somewhere, anywhere, what an FDIM is- let alone a virtual one. In 47 years of hamming- always QRP or QRPp- I've never heard the acronym. And life is too short to always have to click a link to discover what a term or acronym means.
My opinion. Since I said it   :)
Be well

FDIM has always been "Four Days in May".

Big time gathering of QRPers usually held in the Dayton area around the time of Hamvention.
One of these years, I'm going to forego Hamvention and attend that, because it sounds like fun.

Virtual club meetings are one thing.
But virtual hamfests or conventions just don't sound as fun to me as an in person event.

FDIM is Four Days in May - a well known international QRP convention that has been held during the week of the Dayton Hamvention for the last 25+ years.  Normally this is a convention held in person, but with the Hamvention canceling again this year, QRP Amateur Radio Club International has opted to try to have a event virtually on May 22nd.

Click the link only if you are interested in learning more about QRP Amateur Radio Club International and Four Days in May.  QRP-ARCI also publishes a QRP journal called the QRP Quarterly in Jan, Apr, Jul, and Oct every year, for the last 50+ years.  The "QQ" as it is called, contains articles from QRPers all over the world, how to build, how to operate, showcasing innovative designs, and a lot more.  QRP-ARCI also sponsors 7 different QRP Sprints/Contest throughout the year, and offers numerous awards to QRPers.  Chuck, check it out if you are inclined.  We have a lot of fun.
