Quickie Summer VHF/UHF Contest Calendar
Getting ready to head out to the Ozaukee Radio Club Swapfest in an hour. Ken W9GA and I are doing a presentation on VHF and VHF Contesting.
Here’s a basic rundown of when the contests are this summer:
May 9th 6 meter Spring Sprint — 6-10pm central
June 13-14 ARRL June VHF QSO party — 1pm Sat. thru 10pm Sun.
All bands from 6 meters on up.
July 18-19 CQ WorldWide VHF Contest — 1pm Sat. thru 4pm Sun. 6 and 2 meters.
The 6 and 2 meter only format is especially friendly toward beginners.
August 1-2 ARRL UHF Contest — 1pm Sat. thru 1pm Sun. 222/223 MHz and higher.
A Midwestern club has rejuvenated this contest. We’ll talk more about that in future posts.
Sept. 12-13 ARRL September VHF QSO Party — 1pm Sat. until 10pm Sun. All bands.
Make time on your calendar right now for some or all of these VHF/UHF contests. You will hear plenty more about them on this website. A big goal of mine is to greatly increase VHF contesting in our backyard and all across the Midwest/Great Lakes.
