Operating

Modes: SSB
Bands: 10m
Exchange: Call sign + name + 10-10 number + QTH (state, province or country). Record 0 if the other station has no 10-10 number.
Power categories: QRP 10 WLow Power 150 WHigh Power
Logs: no deadline or format recorded
Who can enter: Anyone, anywhere.
10-10 rule 5.2.1: 'QSO Parties are open to all amateurs with operating privileges on the 10 meter band'. The membership requirement bites at log submission, not at participation, so this is a practical constraint rather than an entry bar.

Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off 10-10 International Net's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-08-12.
What the source says: ten-ten.org QSO Party Rules 5.2.2: 'Winter Phone - held on the first full weekend in February - 0001 UTC Saturday through 2359 UTC Sunday.' 10-10's schedule page independently gives 'February 7-8, 2026'.
Recorded caveats: The rules give the close as 2359 UTC Sunday; the schedule page says 'close at 2400 UTC on the second listed date'. One minute apart. Encoded as 2359 from the rules document, which is the authoritative text.

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=tenten-winter-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.
