Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off RSGB Contest Committee's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-08-20.
What the source says: rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2026/rclubcalls.shtml: 'Saturday 14 November 2026 2000 - 2300 UTC.' 'CW: 1870 - 1890 kHz. SSB: 1892 - 1990 kHz. Maximum licensed power is 32 Watts. Only one signal may be transmitted at any one time.' Entrants: '(a) Clubs entering these contests must be affiliated to the RSGB. (b) A club may be represented by any number of stations, all of whom must be within the UK&CD.' RSGB's own dates for four years: 11 Nov 2023, 9 Nov 2024, 8 Nov 2025 and 14 Nov 2026 -- the second Saturday of November each time.
Recorded caveats: THIRTY-TWO WATTS, capping the whole contest rather than defining an entry class, which is the point of it rather than a footnote. Every other single-ceiling record here sits at 5 W or 100 W, so 32 is the sort of odd number that invites tidying to 30 -- a test holds it. It shares a top-band weekend neighbourhood with the November 1.8 MHz contest a week later, and the two are different contests with different rules pages. RSGB keeps a rules page per year, so its own dates check its own rule. Four years were read for this record -- 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 -- and the recurrence reproduces all of them.

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

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=rsgb-club-calls

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.
