Contests for the Next 12 Months

Contests marked (WIA) are run by the Wireless Institure of Australia. Dates shown for these contests were correct at the time of adding. More information about these contests, including official dates, can be found on the WIA Contest page.

(WIA) Spring VHF/UHF Field Day

Date and Time:Saturday 20th November 2010 at 01:00 CST (2 months, 2 weeks)
Description:The VHF-UHF Field Days provide VHF-UHF operators with the opportunity to "head for the hills" and see how far they can work. The Field Days have separate sections for single and multiple operator stations. The duration of the Field Day is 24 hours, but there are also 8 hour sections for operators who may not be able to camp overnight. Most club stations prefer to operate for the full 24 hours. The Field Days also generate plenty of activity from home stations, so there is also a separate Home Station section.

Unofficial Nets

Every Friday night there is a SSB Net on either 2m or 70cm, which is a great way to test equipment which may not otherwise get much use. The Net is open to anyone and is held on 2m (144.150MHz USB) on every Friday except the last Friday of the month, where it is held on 70cm (432.150MHz USB).
