Upcoming Contests – Things to Do

For 12 hours of low-power CW contesting fun, the North American QSO Party is coming up on January 10. Note that using more than 100 watts in this contest makes you a checklog! 160 through 10 meters, with per-band multipliers. Single and multioperator classes. And for an extra twist, teams of up to five separate stations can be registered in advance (see the rules) to compete against other teams. Make sure you read the rules to understand the multipliers, band change rules, and so forth.

 

The is January 17 – 19. This is a grid-based contest, taking place on frequencies 50 MHz and above. Though digital modes are very popular, don’t neglect the analog modes in this contest. Some operating plans suggest trying CW and SSB at the top of every hour, and being attuned to the activity on FM frequencies.

 

Rovers have a big part in this contest, especially in the more populated portions of the US. Some rovers publish their operating plans in advance — . His plans are very comprehensive, including details of his path, and how to sign up for text message alerts during the operation. He has also set up to make it easy to contact him in the contest.

 

Here in the more sparsely populated west, SOTA fans get climbing for the January VHF Contest to take advantage of more people being on the air. During 2026, there’s an emphasis on 2-meter and 70 cm contacts using SSB or CW as part of the 2026 . SOTA operators are looking for six-digit grid squares, so be ready with yours. On SSB, 144.200 MHz or 432.1 MHz are common frequencies (Etienne, K7ATN via PNWVHFS reflector).

News, Press Releases, and Special Interest

ARRL is sponsoring a , starting January 1. Cash awards totaling $25,000 are the prizes in this contest which is open to full-time students under the age of 21 who are Amateur Radio licensees. Entrants must also be ARRL members, but that should be easy since . The terms of the contest, including rules and guidelines, will be published to on January 1, 2026.

 

Andy, AA5JF, wants your ARRL 10 Meter Contest photos and blurbs! He’s going to be writing the contest results article. “Photos of operating, that is with people, and of antennas, are both appreciated. Once you turn in your log, you will get an email confirmation from noreply@arrl.com. Use the first link in that email to upload photos, or add soapbox comments. I also look at the 3830 comments.” There were also a number of posts in the

 

Jeff, WK6I, is looking for your stories, comments, and pictures from the ARRL RTTY Roundup that happened last weekend. You can send them directly to him (wk6i dot jeff at gmail.com), or post your comments to 3830scores.com, where he’ll also see them. He uses these to write the contest results article for QST.

 

NAQP CW Contesters can work any station located anywhere for QSO points, but only certain entities count as multipliers. According to the rules, “Multipliers are all 50 US states, including Alaska and Hawaii, the District of Columbia (DC), the 13 Canadian provinces/territories (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland-Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) and other North American entities as defined by the ARRL DXCC List. For other North American entities, please use the standard DXCC prefix for the country in the received location field in your log.” Your logging program should be able to handle what the DX station sends, counting it appropriately while operating. It may even just pick up the appropriate prefix once you enter the DX station call sign. The NAQP CW Multiplier list is in , on page 2.

 

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, this week. The organizing organization was originally known as the , considered to have , 100 years ago. The RA-DA made the radio waves accessible to those who weren’t enthusiasts capable of building their own receiving gear.

 

Word to the Wise

Picket Fencing: Rapid flutter on mobile signals due to multipath propagation. The fluttering effect is affected by the frequency of operation, and velocity of receiver and/or transmitter.

 

Club Focus

The Northern California Contest Club’s has some ARRL 10 Meter Contest advice that you can use next year, along with general 10 meter propagation hints for late fall on the west coast. Also in that issue, there’s the retelling of the story of how the NCCC won the 1981 CQ WW Club competition, over the geographically advantaged Yankee Clipper Contest Club and Franklin Radio Club. The effort involved getting members of NCCC and Northern California DX Club (NCDXC) to get 22 DXpeditions on the air, while also improving the home stations of club members.

Sights and Sounds

Polar modulation, mentioned in the last issue of the Contest Update, also was the subject of Hans’, G0UPL, presentation “” at the 2025 RSGB Convention (from the ).

 

Results and Records

are now available. In its seventh iteration, new records were set in 15 of 28 categories, likely due to quiet conditions and an SFI of 317 during one part of the contest. With more than 1,500 logs submitted, 173 different countries participated. Notably, top SOHP spots were dominated by Brazilian operators:

are rolling in on 3830scores.com. Many are talking about great conditions and what they did to capitalize on them. Plenty of mentions of using the online contest scores to check out the competition and fire up the competitive spirit. , being in an apartment, but worked through them: “I had a really nice time with this contest. The property owner of the apartment allowed me to put up a wire antenna from the apartment to the back of the property. Temporary for the weekend. The antenna was an inverted-L with a height above ground of about 10 to 15 feet. It was routed under the utility and power lines at the apartment and the back end of the property. There was plenty of QRN. The radio is the Icom IC-705, set to 5 watts. The Icom AH-4 antenna tuner matched the 70-foot-long wire at the feed-point. There were some ground radials in the flower garden, between the apartment and a sidewalk; but not many. And I did a great job at imagining I was operating at the legal limit.” I note that in Washington logged him on four bands.

 

Operating Tip

The “score” your logging program may display while you are operating in a contest is sometimes just a suggestion or guess. During the contest, the logger-generated score helps you understand relative contact values. While logging programs try to dynamically and accurately score your log, your official score is calculated by the contest sponsors after you’ve sent in your log. It may differ from what your logging program calculates. After analyzing the QSOs contained in a log, the sponsors may adjust for busted QSOs, special call sign scoring situations (for example, spelling “YELLOWBRICKROAD” in the Kansas QSO Party), special contest rules like the other station sending in their log and getting their QSO with you logged correctly (Russian DX Contest), or the power levels reported by both stations in a QSO as noted in the log submission to the contest sponsor (Stew Perry Top Band Distance Challenge). Logger-generated scores can be useful for posting to , and showing up in “CLAIMED SCORES” listings, but the official score is always calculated by the contest sponsors.

 

Technical Topics and Discussion

You likely are familiar with ferrite material in standard shapes like toroids, rods, and transformer cores. Fair-Rite is making its type 68 and 77 materials , for your own experimentation or specialized application. Given an appropriate binder material, the powder can be used to replace air gaps in some designs, or even be shaped around printed circuit board traces for “integrated magnetic” purposes. Here’s a . In the video, characteristics of the unformed powder vs. formed powder shapes are discussed. While these two materials aren’t what we normally use at RF frequencies, Fair-Rite’s video mentions that other mixes may be available based on demand.

 

Rudy, N2WQ, is “working on a brand new telnet cluster specifically designed for contesting and contesters” and is . As part of this work, he’s attempting to measure the reliability and accuracy of telnet clusters under varying conditions. The discussion is interesting, in that there are a lot of factors to consider, including whether or not data reported by a node changes when a contest is going on, or when co-located with a contest station. He’s developed (with the help of some AI programming tools) some data analysis utilities which he’s made available .

 

Wei, AG6AQ, assembled the hardware and to combine an ESP32-based portable computer and a QRP Labs QMX radio for an ultra-portable setup useful for FT-mode communications. Lots of nice ideas here, and there’s code you can tinker with too!

 

Here’s an unanticipated side effect to watch out for: A number of patriotic FT8 users have been sending “CQ 250 <CALLSIGN>” in celebration of the USA’s 250th anniversary of independence. Unfortunately, in many FT-mode clients (including WSJT-X), clicking on such a CQ causes the responder to QSY to the specified frequency (e.g. 14.250 on 20 meters). See section 10.4 of the WSJT-X manual, where you’ll find the relevant text: “On reception, when you double-click on a message like CQ nnn K1ABC FN42 your rig will QSY to the specified frequency so you can call the station at his specified response frequency.” Useful for DXpeditions and getting people off of VHF/UHF calling frequencies. Potentially surprising otherwise. In WSJT-X, disable by unselecting “Enable VHF and submode features” in the General Settings.

“Vibe Coding” for Amateur Radio Projects

 

In today’s homebrew amateur radio projects there’s often an embedded microcontroller, a computer module, or computer software needed to make it go. To just build some projects, you can often buy a hardware kit, or accumulate the right modules from some online sources, wire them up, build or print an enclosure, download some software, and get the project working just by loading some pre-compiled code. But to really get in and tinker might require understanding and changing source code, which for some is daunting. Especially if it’s written in a language that is unfamiliar, or tools which are not mainstream.

 

Over the past couple of years, you’ve been able to ask , , , and other “GenAI” programs to help understand or produce code snippets or smaller programs. They’ve been getting better over time. You have to know the right questions to ask, and know how to use the code that is provided.

 

Agentic AI has also been integrated, directly or with plug-ins, into some code editors and development environments, so it’s like having a junior sidekick coding with you, but one that has read the manuals and/or knows where to look for the information needed to write code. Popular programming editors like and most of products are some examples.

 

environment is a recently released free development tool that has perhaps (as of this week) gone the farthest with this and could be the most useful if you are faced with making changes to unfamiliar code with unfamiliar tools. AI is built into nearly every aspect of this tool. It can help not just with code snippets, but the whole project — it can help plan how to get a project done, it can analyze the project to “know” what tools and compilers are necessary to build the code, and how to do it using tools on your computer. With your permission, it can perform those tasks for you and take you through it. What’s more, it can help with some “code hygiene” tasks that are sometimes neglected, such as writing code that tests other code, or updating existing code to modern standards, if you request. You can download and install Antigravity on your computer to try it for yourself, and try it with the source code for , for example. For code you’ve never seen before, asking the tool “How do I compile this?” might be a good way to start.

 

Google also has another service in its pipeline that will be of interest to long-lived open-source projects: . Developers love to write code. Sometimes lots of it. Documentation for that code? Mostly not so much. Getting new project members up to speed can be difficult, and for open-source projects this discourages people that could otherwise contribute to the project. CodeWiki seeks to “understand” the code, provide documentation, and offer expert consultation in an interactive environment where the code can be explored. Some public repositories relevant to amateur radio are already supported, such as , and Google notes that you’ll be able to use it with your own private code repositories, coming soon.

 

With some of these tools you’ll likely be able to do some of the software tasks that may have been previously a little out of reach and develop more capabilities for future projects.

 

That's all for this time. Remember to send contesting-related stories, book reviews, tips, techniques, press releases, errata, schematics, club information, pictures, stories, blog links, and predictions to .
