Kentucky's June party: CW and phone only.

Rules at kyqsoparty.orgThe rules are the sponsor's. This page holds the dates and the facts.

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

Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor
unverified — these dates have not yet been checked against Kentucky Contest Group's own page. Treat the sponsor's rules as authoritative.
What the source says
Sponsor's own rules (https://kyqsoparty.org/rules/), read 2026-10-15: 'Saturday June 5th, 2027 (always the 1st Saturday in June)', 1300Z to 0100Z; 'NO digital QSOs'.
Recorded caveats
LIVE RULES ARE A 2027 DRAFT ('we welcome your comments') and the sponsor is 'considering moving the start to 10am or 11am EDT', so the 1300Z start is provisional. 2026 rules text is no longer on the page.

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=kentucky-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.
