Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: unverified — these dates have not yet been checked against AGB's own page. Treat the sponsor's rules as authoritative.
What the source says: ev5agb.com/contest/agb_party.htm: 'Third Friday of December', 1600-1700 UT, 40m and 80m; the page's example date is 16 Dec 2022. Read 2026-10-15.
Recorded caveats: The AGB pages are stale: the examples are dated 2022-2023 and the log deadline text still reads 15.01.2022, and no 2024-2026 date is published, so whether it is still run is unconfirmed. 2026 date derived from the stated rule only.

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

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=agb-party

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.
