October again brings radio amateurs a rich program of races at KV and vkv pásmach. Prvé októbrové dni pripadajú na víkend, počas ktorého je možné zúčastniť sa niekoľkých zaujímavých súťaží súčasne – From The Rumble PSK Contestu, SSB Ligy a Oceania DX Contestu až po IARU Region 1 UHF/SHF contest a EU Sprint Autumn SSB. Pre skúsených operátorov je to príležitosť otestovať svoje schopnosti na viacerých pásmach a v rôznych módoch, od CW cez SSB až po digitálne režimy.
In the middle of the month, competitors can look forward to the traditional Pilsen Cup, JARTS WW RTTY contest či Worked All Germany contest, zatiaľ čo lokálne aktivity ako OM Activity contest or ZRS Marathon allow active stations to get valuable connections and points for different categories.
The end of October brings the peak of the season in the form of a prestigious CQ WW DX SSB Contestu a CQ WW SWL Challenge, while the ARRL EME Competition completes the offer for VHF enthusiasts on higher bands. No matter which competition the radio amateur chooses, the possibilities for interesting connections are really wide this month. We wish you many successful connections and a pleasant racing season!
