PVRC is the top sponsor for WRTC2026 tents. PVRC is sponsoring 2 North American team tents and one of the Youth tents for 2026, thanks to the generosity of PVRC contesters.

WRTC2026 will be held in the UK concurrent with IARU HF contest in July 2026. WRTC is the Radiosport equivalent of the Olympics, wherein 2-operator teams vie for top contester honors in the world of Ham radio every 4 years.

Our Sun’s CME gift to us made QSOs in this on the air event a challenge of patience and lucky timing on the first two days, but day 3 was quite good! All bands were useful. PVRC member locations contacted included Spain and Maine. Non-members also included from Maine and Pennsylvania where I hear that some other contest clubs may exist (hi hi). Thanks to all for participating, hope you had some fun and will do it again next year when propagation likely to be much better (couldn’t get much worse!).

As logs are received over this week and compiled next week (or so) results will appear, stay tuned.

Perhaps there is an appetite for a single Contest Club Reunion Day next year when all N.A. contest clubs join in for some friendly fun?

PVRC Reunion On The Air 61st Anniversary was on three days from May 30 – June 2, 2025 and some other changes from previous years to how it works now!

New for 2025 was the addition of meet-and-greet Zoom meeting sessions an hour before and an hour after each day’s 3-hour contest session.
