Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off JARL's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-08-17.
What the source says: jarl.org (67th All Asian DX Contest rule): 'Phone: (September 5-6, 2026) From 00:00 UTC on the first Saturday in September to 24:00 UTC on the following day'. The first Saturday in September 2026 is September 5, which is the date JARL prints. JARL's word is 'Phone'; recorded as SSB, the nearest term in this catalog's controlled mode set. Bands and power as for the CW leg. LOG DEADLINE DELIBERATELY NOT ENCODED, for the same reason as the CW leg: JARL's '10 days after the event is over' resolves to 'Phone...September 16, 2026', which is 9 days after the 24:00 UTC end instant stored here. Logs also go to aaph@jarl.org.

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=jarl-aa-dx-phone

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.
