Mexico RTTY International Contest

The Federacion Mexicana de Radioexperimentadores' 36-hour Baudot RTTY contest in early February.

Rules at rtty.fmre.mxThe 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)

1200Z → 2359Z 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: 2023, 2024, 2025, 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 FMRE's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: rtty.fmre.mx/reglas/Rules_FMRE_RTTY_<year>.pdf for 2023-2026: 36 hours, 1200Z Saturday to 2359Z Sunday; starts 2023-02-04, 2024-02-03, 2025-02-01, 2026-02-07 (28th edition). Cabrillo to rtty@fmre.mx; 2026 log deadline 18 Mar, 38 days after the end. Call 'CQ XE TEST'. 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 (2023-02-04, 2024-02-03, 2025-02-01, 2026-02-07); a year it has not announced yields nothing rather than a guess. If a stated rule turns up, this record upgrades from manual.

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

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=fmre-rtty

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.
