Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off Tennessee Contest Group's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: Sponsor's own rules (https://tnqp.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Tennessee-QSO-Party-2026-Rules.pdf), read 2026-10-15: 'first Sunday of September' (About page); 1700Z Sunday 6 Sep to 0300Z Monday 7 Sep 2026; any digital mode that supports the exchange.
Recorded caveats: All bands except 60, 30, 17 and 12m; bands left empty (unrecorded). 2027 home page gives 5 September.

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 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=tennessee-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.
