GARES Challenges
Our latest challenge runs from February 8th to March 31st 2026 and involves contacting as many different DXCC (Country Code Prefixes) as possible using only one frequency band and one modulation mode (SSB, CW etc).
Classes for different power levels and extra points for Foundation Licence holders.
Full details.
These challenges are club sponsored opportunities for members to gain experience in operating on different bands and with different modes. Although we will "keep score" the activity is not meant to be excessively competitive. It is more important that as many people as possible join in to gain experience, perhaps build new antennas and try new modes of operation. Most of all they should be fun!
The rules vary according to the challenge.
