Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: Yes. The rule on this page was read off Western Washington DX Club's own published rules. Link last confirmed 2026-10-15.
What the source says: Sponsor's own rules (https://salmonrun.wwdxc.org/rules/), read 2026-10-15: 'third full (two-day) weekend of September'; 1600Z Saturday to 0700Z Sunday then 1600Z to 2400Z Sunday; 'cannot accept WJST modes (e.g. FT-8/FT-4)'.
Recorded caveats: Rules page last updated 22 July 2024.

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=washington-salmon-run

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.
