Many of us participated in the 11 July 2026 IARU WRTC contest. The Olympics of radio-sport, the WRTC brings the best of the best contesters in the world to duke it out on the air.
Since then, several members asked if we could put together an online
session where they could hear directly from the PVRCers who participated. We have scheduled a Zoom meeting on Friday 21 August at 7 PM Eastern Time. Six of the participants have agreed to speak (so far).
Each will speak for 10 minutes or so. The talks will be followed by a Q&A session. The speakers will be Jim K4QPL, Mark KD4D, Tim N3QE, Tom W2SC, Connor W4IPC, and Mark WH7W.

Please mark your calendars. The Zoom link is:

We were recently informed that PVRC won both the 2024 and 2025 Worked all Germany (WAG) non-DL club competitions. Congratulations to all!

The WAG is a great contest with large numbers of German stations participating and a host of outstanding operaters. The winner’s plaques are on their way.
