/

The third and last RaDAR Challenge for 2019 takes place from 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC on Saturday 2 November 2019, but you only need to operate for four hours.

The RaDAR Challenge is not a "contest" as such, it is an individual challenge. All amateur bands are allowed including cross band contacts via amateur radio satellites. Modes - CW, SSB, FM or any legal amateur radio digital mode.

As from 2019 the WARC bands will be included.

The exchange is your call sign, your name, RS(T) report and grid locator.

The grid locator of six characters is acceptable but should preferably be accurate to 8 or 10 characters for higher position accuracy.

You earn 1 point per QSO and then there are multipliers to be used.
