VHF & up Contesting

The organisation of the IARU contests has been changed during the IARU General Conference in Landshut (2017).
It is proposed to create a team of experienced VHF contesters and contest robot owners/designers to define common checking rules for automatic contest adjudication applications.

The Working Group consists of:

  • C5 Contest Coordinator
  • C5 Chair
  • Members shall be active contesters. Of the ordinary members, at least one needs to be:
    o Robot/IT expert
    o VHF/UHF specialist
    o Microwave specialist

Actual membership

  • C5 Contest Coordinator : IV3KKW
  • C5 Chair: OM3BH
  • Members: DL3MBG, F4CIB, G0FCT, HA0LC, OE1MCU, OK1VAO, PE1ITR, S53WW, YU1LA.
