SARL Top Band QSO Party

The Top Band QSO Party, which runs from 00:00 UTC on Thursday 18 June to 00:00 UTC on Monday 22 June, gives amateur radio operators in South Africa the opportunity to obtain the QSOs for the SARL Top Band Certificate and increase the number of grid squares you have worked on 160 meters.

This is a CW and phone contest and the exchange is an RS or RST report and your provincial or country abbreviation. You may work the same station once per mode.

Submit your log by 29 June 2020 by e-mail to contest@sarl.org.za.

NZART Memorial Contest 2020

The NZ Memorial Contest will again be held over the first weekend in 4-5th July 2020

The contest was first held in 1946 and its purpose was to commemorate those NZ radio hams who lost their lives during WW2.

So, this year being 2020 it is worth remembering that this will be the 75th anniversary of the end of WW2 in 1945, along with the challenges of 2020.

Hence, the NZART team are offering the chance to commemorate and celebrate by spending some time on the air operating in an easy fun contest with each other.
