West Virginia QSO Party unverified

West Virginia's June party, tied to 20 June (the Saturday on or before it).

Rules at qsl.netThe rules are the sponsor's. This page holds the dates and the facts.

These dates have not been checked against West Virginia State Amateur Radio Council's own published rules yet. They are computed from the rule below, which is what the catalog holds — but the sponsor's page wins.

When it runs

Dates set by the sponsor each year (no derivable rule)

1600Z → 0400Z the next day

Times are UTC, as the sponsor states them.

The sponsor announces these dates a year at a time and there is no rule to derive, so this calendar holds only the years they have published: 2026.

Next runnings

The sponsor sets this date each year rather than by a rule, and has published through 2026. Years they have not announced are absent rather than guessed.

Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: unverified — these dates have not yet been checked against West Virginia State Amateur Radio Council's own page. Treat the sponsor's rules as authoritative.
What the source says: Sponsor's own rules (https://www.qsl.net/wvqp/2026rules.pdf), read 2026-10-15: 'if June 20th is not a Saturday, held the Saturday immediately prior'; 1600Z Saturday to 0400Z Sunday.
Recorded caveats: The rule is a date anchor ('June 20, or the Saturday before'), not expressible in the engine, so 2026 only is recorded. The rules contain a typo on the end date. 80-10m excluding WARC. MANUAL AND UNVERIFIED BECAUSE A PUBLISHED DATE IS NOT A RULE. The sponsor states the dates for the year(s) listed and no recurrence wording, so none is invented here; the next announcement settles it.

Something wrong? How to report it — a link to the sponsor's own page is all it takes.
