DARC UKW-Winter-Fieldday

When it runs

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

• 0900Z → 1329Z

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.

Saturday carries 1.3 GHz then 2.3/3.4/5.7 GHz; Sunday carries 435 MHz then 145 MHz. Each date holds the whole day's bracket from the first band's start to the last band's end; the bands are not run simultaneously. 3.4 and 5.7 GHz have no token here.

darc.de UKW contest pages (index https://www.darc.de/der-club/referate/conteste/ukw/ukw-conteste/ 'Termine DARC UKW Conteste 2026'): Sat 2026-02-07 09:00-10:59 UTC on 1.3 GHz and 11:00-13:29 on 2.3/3.4/5.7 GHz; Sun 2026-02-08 09:00-10:59 on 435 MHz and 11:00-12:59 on 145 MHz.

Recorded caveats

DATES ARE STATED PER EDITION; THE SPONSOR PUBLISHES NO RECURRENCE RULE. Only the dates the sponsor has actually published are encoded (2026-02-07, 2026-02-08); a year it has not announced yields nothing rather than a guess. If a stated rule turns up, this record upgrades from manual. Only the 2026 Ausschreibung was read; earlier DARC years were not checked.

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=darc-ukw-winter-fieldday

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.
