#hamradio is heavily depending on The Sun.
The star, not the tabloid.
You win some ~ you lose some.
The kids just know #hfpropagation is a stinker when I propose to dine out last minute in stead of raking up CW QSOs in a #hamradiocontest ...
Greek restaurant, grilled squid. Can't go wrong.
73 y'all.
The #EveryHam #AmateurRadio #Contest website is live!
I've set up a "Test" contest for tomorrow, 18 April, 0000-2359 UTC.
No guarantees that any part of it will actually work, but if you happen to be on the radio tomorrow and you'd like to submit 5 of your QSOs to the contest, go for it!
The submission window is 8 days from the start of the contest (day of, plus 7 days after)
This is the first time I've attempted anything like this, so I'd appreciate any feedback on the process, any bugs you noticed, etc.
Bragging time ~ contesting ego acting up ⚡
Thought I'd check in with some trophies a local club member brought along from a UBA event...
Pitty they changed from wooden plaques to this.
Lots of blank wall space but no shelves in the shack.
I think another local club fellow has more of these I still need to pick up. Long overdue.
73 y'all !
Hol dein Logbuch raus. Am Ostermontag wird das Band brennen!
🔥 Der legendäre DARC-Ostercontest lädt alle Funkamateure zum ultimativen Sprint auf 40m und 80m ein.
Von 15:00 bis 17:29 UTC zählt jede Sekunde und jedes QSO für die Clubmeisterschaft 2026.
Das absolute Highlight dieses Jahr: Das Referat Conteste hat zugehört!
Erstmals gibt es eine dedizierte QRP-Overlay-Wertung für die 5-Watt-Klasse. Egal ob CW, SSB oder Mixed.
Nach jedem Kontakt gilt die Sprint-Regel: Frequenzwechsel! Zeig deine Skills im Pile-Up und sammle wertvolle Punkte für die „CM Open 2026“. 🏆
Bist du dieses Jahr dabei?
Schreib „QRV“ in die Kommentare und verrate uns: Gehst du mit High Power an den Start oder wagst du dich in die neue QRP-Klasse? 👇

BTW I'm very stoked about this weekend's CQ WW CW. It's been a few years since I did an all band all out all in effort.
Look for OQ5M.
Who else is joining us in #cqwwcw ?
