Encoding it as a single seven-hour block would pu t a contest on the calendar during an hour RSGB does not run one.\n\nThe e xchange includes your transmitted power\, which is how a low-power contest scores itself.\n\nELIGIBILITY IS THE ONE UNVERIFIED THING HERE. RSGB says 'UK&CD entrants must be RSGB members' and says nothing about anyone else\ , which reads as open but is an absence rather than a statement. RSGB also runs a separately-named 'International Low Power Contest' in its results archive\, which suggests this one may be the domestic one. Worth one quest ion. RSGB keeps a rules page per year\, so its own dates check its own rul e. Four years were read for this record -- 2023\, 2024\, 2025 and 2026 -- and the recurrence reproduces all of them.\n\nPART OF THIS IS NOW ANSWERED \, 2026-08-23. The open question was whether the July contest encoded here is RSGB's domestic low-power event or the 'International Low Power Contes t' that appears separately in their results archive. RSGB's own HF Champio nship page lists the eleven contests counting towards it\, and the July en try is named 'International Low Power Contest' -- there is exactly one low -power contest in RSGB's season and it is this one. So the two names are t he same contest.\n\nThat does NOT by itself prove non-UK stations may ente r\, which is why the record stays verified: false: the championship's own entry clause is 'single operators who at the time of each contest are RSGB members and are operating in the UK&CD'\, and that is the CHAMPIONSHIP's restriction rather than the contest's. What has gone is the possibility th at we encoded the wrong one of two contests.\nRules: https://www.rsgbcc.or g/hf/rules/2027/rqrp.shtml URL:https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2027/rqrp.shtml CATEGORIES:CW STATUS:CONFIRMED TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:rsgb-low-power-20270718T1300@contestcal DTSTAMP:20261001T195905Z DTSTART:20270718T130000Z DTEND:20270718T160000Z SUMMARY:RSGB Low Power Contest DESCRIPTION:Sponsor: RSGB Contest Committee\nModes: CW\nBands: 80m\, 40m\, 20m\nBand note: CW only: 3510-3580 kHz (3540-3560 recommended)\, 7000-7040 kHz (7020-7040 recommended)\, 14000-14060 kHz (14040-14060 recommended).\ nDuration: 3h\nExchange: RS(T) plus a serial number starting at 1 and incr ementing by 1\, plus your transmitted power.\nNote: TWO SESSIONS WITH AN H OUR'S BREAK FOR LUNCH\, which is why this record uses the sessions array: 0900-1200 and 1300-1600.
