Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off Thracian Rose Club's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: trcdx.org/rules-trc-digi (2025): 'The second full weekend of December (December 13/14, 2025) from 06:00 UTC on Saturday till 18:00 UTC on Sunday'; 'Mode: RTTY'; 'Bands: 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10 m'. The contest-calendar page gives 12/13 December 2026, again the second full weekend. Logs 'WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS'. Verified 2026-10-15.

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=trc-digi

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.
