> QRP ARCI issued an Accessibility Challenge in January, 2012. It was
> announced in the Winter 2012 QQ, the club website (see
> http://fdim.qrparci.org/content/view/128/ ) and various QRP lists. The core
> of the challenge is for QRPers to create a kit that can be built by our
> visually impaired hams. The rules are found at the web site above. The
> intent was to make this a special category in the FDIM 2012 building
> contest. Entries would be on display at FDIM 2012 and a team of three judges
> would select the winning entries.
>
> Since issuing the challenge, we have received feedback from a number of
> sources stating that a four month timeline was overly optimistic to perform
> all the needed steps to develop such a kit. We have discussed various
> alternatives and have decided to extend the timeline. The rules will stand
> as initially stated, however this will be a special category at FDIM 2013.
> Thus giving a full year for the development and design effort.
>
> This extension will also give time to adequately publicize the challenge and
> insure a high level of participation. We apologize for our overly optimistic
> start. Form your design teams and heat up the irons. We look forward to
> seeing the results at FDIM 2013.
