Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off Arizona QSO Party's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: Sponsor's own rules (https://www.azqp.org/rules), read 2026-10-15: '2nd October Saturday'; 1500Z Saturday 10 Oct to 0500Z Sunday 11 Oct 2026; CW and phone.
Recorded caveats: SPONSOR NOT NAMED on the rules page; the party's own name is used as the sponsor so the registry join works. Replace when a club is identified.

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=arizona-qso-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.
