Wisconsin QSO Party unverified

Wisconsin's March party, moved in 2026 to avoid the DST change.

Rules at warac.orgThe rules are the sponsor's. This page holds the dates and the facts.

These dates have not been checked against West Allis Radio Amateur Club'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)

1800Z → 0100Z 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.

Operating

Modes: SSBCWDigital
Bands: not read off the sponsor's page yet — so every band filter on the schedule hides this contest
Exchange: Wisconsin stations send serial number and county; others send serial number and state, province or DX.
Logs: no deadline or format recorded
Who can enter: Anyone, anywhere.

Where this comes from

Checked against the sponsor: unverified — these dates have not yet been checked against West Allis Radio Amateur Club's own page. Treat the sponsor's rules as authoritative.
What the source says: Sponsor's own rules (https://www.warac.org/wqp/wiqp_rules.htm), read 2026-10-15: 15 Mar 2026, 1800Z to 0100Z 16 Mar; digital (RTTY, PSK) allowed, FT8/FT4 not accepted.
Recorded caveats: No band list is stated, so bands are left empty (unrecorded). 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.

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=wisconsin-qso-party

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.
