John Rollins Memorial DX Event
An AWA DX weekend in March for operators of antique equipment, who exchange the manufacture dates of their gear.
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)
- 2200Z → 0200Z 3 days later
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: 2027.

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: Next edition: Friday 26 Mar 2027 2200Z to Monday 29 Mar 0200Z. 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 (2027-03-26); 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.

Add to Google CalendarSubscribe (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=awa-rollins-dx
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.
