BARTG's rules documents define classes, bands and scoring but state no entrant restriction. Worldwide is the strong reading -- BARTG runs an international RTTY series and logs go to the RSGB robot -- but it is a reading, not a quote.

Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off BARTG's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-08-12.
What the source says: bartg.org.uk PSK63 rules PDF, PERIOD OF OPERATION: 'The contest runs on the third Sunday of September from 1700 UTC until 2059 UTC.' Cross-checked against BARTG's published schedules for 2026-2031 (20, 19, 17, 16, 15 and 21 September).

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=bartg-sprint-psk63

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.
