Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off A1 Club's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: a1club.org/contest/awt (updated 2026.03.20): 'AWT is a CW contest held on every Wednesday from 11:45Z to 13:00Z (20:45-22:00JST). The first 15min is for QRS A1CLUB and open to everyone who loves CW.' The Japanese text adds that the first 15 minutes are QRS at 15 WPM or slower and that anyone may take part. Read 2026-10-15.
Recorded caveats: Bands and exchange are in the guideline PDF, which this catalog has not transcribed; they are left unrecorded rather than guessed. Entry form fields suggest a City/State/Province code and a member flag.

Something wrong? How to report it — a link to the sponsor's own page is all it takes.

Take it with you

Add to Google Calendar Subscribe (iCal)This record as JSON

Add to Google Calendar puts the next running in as a single event. It is one event, not a subscription — come back for the one after it, or use the feed below.

Subscribe (iCal) carries this contest's runnings for the next twelve months as UTC instants and keeps them current. Apple Calendar, Outlook and Thunderbird take this address directly. Its identifiers are stable across deploys, so re-subscribing does not duplicate anything: https://contestclock.com/api/ics?id=a1club-awt

Google has no working one-click subscribe. Paste that address into Settings → Add calendar → From URL. Google then polls it on its own schedule, often 8–24 hours, and that cannot be forced — so use Add to Google Calendar above if you want the next running in your calendar now.
