Contests

Amateur radio contests are a great way of testing out your skills and learning new ones.

International contests are a great way of increasing your DXCC totals and may provide a pathway to the World Champs (WRTC)

Our domestic 80m contests have a long and proud history and are great fun too

Field Day contests challenge operators to take their gear into the field and set up in sometimes difficult locations, establish a station quickly and make contacts the length of the country and further abroad

Microwave contests in the VHF and up world challenge the technical boundaries of communications

This page provides a contest calendar, rules and results.
