RAC Canada Winter Contest 2024 Results
Published March 19, 2025:
Sam Ferris, VE5SF – RAC Canada Winter Contest Manager
Conditions were good on the high HF bands for the 2024 edition of the RAC Canada Winter Contest. Participation has increased by by a small increment of approximately three per cent with 1,218 entries in total. Although propagation was generally good, no new records were established.
Your contest managers sincerely appreciate the increased use
of Cabrillo-based log entries. The new log upload site at
www.contest.rac.ca/ has proven to be an efficient manner in which to submit contest logs for both the RAC Canada Winter and RAC Canada Day Contests. Processing completed by the upload system has also saved the log checker considerable time. Additionally, Cabrillo format files significantly reduce the workload associated with producing the contest results.
Thanks, and congratulations to all for participating in the 2024 Canada Winter Contest and to the operators of the RAC call signs. Special thanks to all of our great sponsors!
Hopefully the solar cycle will remain at a relatively high level in the coming years and we will have good propagation for the running of the RAC Canada Winter Contest scheduled for December 20, 2025.
The complete results are available in the PDF document.
