Note: A PDF version of the complete rules is available below in English. The French version is now being translated.

Contest Period: 0000 UTC to 2359 UTC on Saturday, December 28, 2024.

 

In December each year the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) sponsors the Canda Winter Contest. Amateurs all over the world are invited to participate.

This year there are several updates to the rules including:

  • Updated the suggested 40-metre phone frequency for Canadian SSB QSOs to avoid conflicts with FT8 or other digital frequency usage;
  • Added information and a table to illustrate how scoring is calculated;
  • Added clarity around how QRP entries are handled and adjudicated; and
  • Added instructions on how paper logs can be converted to electronic logs using utilities established for our contests.

If you need help preparing or submitting your log or have any other questions, please contact Sam Ferris, VE5SF at .

We look forward to hearing you on the air for the RAC Canada Winter Contest on December 28, 2024.
