ARRL 160-Meter Contest

The ARRL 160-Meter Contest is a popular event on "Top Band" where we aim to make as many contacts as possible with stations in the US and Canada, and also with various DX entities, all while maximizing our multiplier count. The contest focuses on working stations across different ARRL/RAC sections and DXCC countries. We operate exclusively on the 160m band using CW, exchanging basic contact information with other participants. The contest runs for a 42-hour period, beginning Friday evening UTC and concluding Sunday afternoon UTC. For newcomers, we recommend familiarizing yourselves with the specific exchange format and multiplier rules, which are detailed in the official contest rules, to ensure all your contacts count.
