Club QSO Party

The ARRL has officially declared 2026 the Year of the Club, and a brand-new on-the-air event has been launched specifically to energise members and put clubs front and centre.

Other than Field Day, there are very few true club-focused operating activities. That changes now.

Your club’s station will operate using your call sign plus your club’s age. For example, a club founded 110 years ago would sign: K2AA / 110 Instantly showcasing your club’s history and identity every time you hit the air.

Why your club will love this event

Every mode counts	Phone, CW, Digital — all welcome.
Every platform counts	Repeaters, DMR, EchoLink, and more.
Every band counts	All amateur bands except WARC.
Every member counts	The more members who contact your club station, the bigger your club multiplier.

This is truly an all-inclusive event. If it gets RF (or even VoIP) out into the world, it counts.

EVENT DATES June 20th 00:00 UTC — June 21st 23:59 UTC

How to participate

Individual operators

Get on the air and work as many clubs and operators as possible.

Clubs
