Baltic Contest

Lithuania's 80 m contest: five hours on a May night, exchanging serial numbers.

Rules at lrsf.ltThe 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)

2100Z → 0200Z 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 LRSF's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: lrsf.lt 'The 61th BALTIC CONTEST (2026)': 'from 2100UTC May 16, 2026 till 0200UTC May 17, 2026 (3rd full weekend)'. CW and SSB on 80 m; sections A single op CW/SSB, B CW, C SSB, D assisted, E multi-op single TX, F SWL; QSOs with Russia and Belarus are not counted; Cabrillo to lrsf@lrsf.lt, deadline 24 May 2026 (7 days). Open to radio amateurs worldwide. 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 (2026-05-16); a year it has not announced yields nothing rather than a guess. If a stated rule turns up, this record upgrades from manual. The sponsor writes '(3rd full weekend)' after this year's dates but states no standing rule, and a non-sponsor notice put the 57th contest on 22-23 May 2021, which was not the third weekend; so none is inferred.

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