Canadian Prairies QSO Party · CA

Canadian Prairies QSO Party unverified

The Canadian Prairies' May party: CW and SSB on four bands.

Rules at cpqp.ve6hams.caThe rules are the sponsor's. This page holds the dates and the facts.

These dates have not been checked against Canadian Prairies QSO Party's own published rules yet. They are computed from the rule below, which is what the catalog holds — but the sponsor's page wins.

When it runs

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

  • 1700Z → 0300Z 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, 2027.

Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor
unverified — these dates have not yet been checked against Canadian Prairies QSO Party's own page. Treat the sponsor's rules as authoritative.
What the source says
Sponsor's own rules (https://cpqp.ve6hams.ca/rules/), read 2026-10-15: 1700Z 9 May to 0300Z 10 May 2026 (the page's own header has a '2025' typo); 2027: 8 May; CW and SSB only.
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. MANUAL AND UNVERIFIED BECAUSE A PUBLISHED DATE IS NOT A RULE. The sponsor states the dates for the year(s) listed and no recurrence wording, so none is invented here; the next announcement settles it.

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 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=canadian-prairies-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.
