RAC Canada Day Contest 2023 Results

RAC Contest Managers 
Bart Ritchie, VE5CPU and 
Sam Ferris, VE5SF

The RAC Contest Management Team is pleased to present the RAC Canada Day Contest 2023 Results.
 
It was certainly nice to see the solar cycle continue on its upswing, leading to better conditions on 10 and 15 metres for the 
RAC Canada Day Contest 2023. With improved solar conditions and a weekend Canada Day event there was a record 835 logs submitted – a 12% increase over last year’s record performance. 
 
With a total of 108,225 QSOs logged, it was not only the best entry turnout but the highest number of logged QSOs we have ever recorded!
 
Three new records were established this year with all of them in the new assisted categories. Please see inside for all of the details.
 
Thank you for participating in the contest! We would also like to thank all of our great sponsors for continuing to support the contest and Amateur Radio in Canada  and internationally.
