AWA AM QSO Party

The Antique Wireless Association's AM-only phone QSO party in late September.

Rules at antiquewireless.orgThe rules are the sponsor's. This page holds the dates and the facts.

When it runs

Dates set by the sponsor each year (no derivable rule)

2000Z → 2359Z the next day

Times are UTC, as the sponsor states them.

The sponsor announces these dates a year at a time and there is no rule to derive, so this calendar holds only the years they have published: 2026.

Next runnings

The sponsor sets this date each year rather than by a rule, and has published through 2026. Years they have not announced are absent rather than guessed.

Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off Antique Wireless Association's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: antiquewireless.org operating-events pages: 2026: Saturday 26 Sep 2000 UTC to Sunday 27 Sep 2400 UTC. Scoresheet and logsheet due by 2400 UTC 25 Oct 2026 to W8ACR. Read 2026-10-15.
Recorded caveats: DATES ARE STATED PER EDITION; THE SPONSOR PUBLISHES NO RECURRENCE RULE. Only the dates the sponsor has actually published are encoded (2026-09-26); a year it has not announced yields nothing rather than a guess. If a stated rule turns up, this record upgrades from manual. The AWA says each year's details are unique. Earlier years were not collected.

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

Subscribe (iCal)This record as JSON

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=awa-am-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.
