Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off URE's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-08-18.
What the source says: concursos.ure.es/en/eapsk63/bases/ (page in Spanish): 'Organizacion.- Union de Radioaficionados Espanoles (URE).' 'Participantes.- Todos los radioaficionados en posesion de licencia oficial que lo deseen.' 'Fechas: Segundo fin de semana del mes de marzo (en el ano 2026, dias 14 y 15), desde las 12:00 UTC del sabado hasta las 11:59 UTC del domingo.' 'Modo: BPSK63.' 'Bandas: 10, 15, 20, 40 y 80 metros.' 'Potencia: La potencia permitida en este concurso, es hasta 50 W. ... Categoria QRP hasta 5 W maximo.' 'Intercambio: Las estaciones espanolas pasaran RSQ mas la sigla provincial; las del resto del mundo pasaran RSQ mas numero de serie comenzando con el 001.' 'La fecha limite de recepcion de listas (15 dias) es el 30 de marzo de 2026.' That is exactly the stored end instant plus 15 days.
Recorded caveats: URE says 'segundo fin de semana', not 'segundo fin de semana completo'. The two readings cannot diverge at n = 2 -- the second Saturday of a month is at most the 14th, so its Sunday is always in the same month -- so no choice between them was needed.

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=ure-eapsk63

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.
