Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off CRK / SARA's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-08-18.
What the source says: okomdx.crk.cz (OK/OM DX Contest CW rules, English): 'The Czech Radio Club, CRK in cooperation with Slovak radioclub SARA'. '2. Contest Period -- Second (full) weekend in November, i.e. 1200 UTC 14th November - 1159 UTC 15th November 2026.' 'All bands, 1.8 through 28 MHz, WARC bands excluded'. '5.1 Non-Czech and Slovak stations: signal report + QSO number, starting with 001. / 5.2 Czech and Slovak stations: signal report + County code (three letters).' '11.1 Logs must be submitted to the contest sponsors within 7 days after the end of the contest - (November 22nd, 2026, 2359 UTC)'.
Recorded caveats: The parenthetical deadline (22 November 2026, 2359 UTC) is the right date for the seven-day interval but 23:59 rather than the 11:59 that end-plus-7-days gives; the interval is the stated rule, so the interval is encoded. BLOCKER RECORDED, NOT WORKED AROUND: okomdx.crk.cz serves a TLS certificate issued for default.web4u.cz, so HTTPS fails validation and the rules are reachable only over plain HTTP. rules_url is therefore http:// deliberately; it is not an oversight, and the link checker will keep reporting it as such until the Czech Radio Club fixes the host.

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

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=ok-om-dx-cw

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.
