Introduction to Contesting Part 2
2026-02-05 20:00 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | The Grangewood Club, 50 Barn Owl Close, Northampton, NN4 OUA, United Kingdom
This follow-on presentation will build on the introductory session by going into greater depth about the specific contests our club intends to support and promote. We’ll cover recommended logging procedures and software options, along with practical guidance on how the club will mentor and assist members who are new to contesting. The session will also outline our plans for organised club participation, including the contests we’ll be actively operating together from the club field. Together, this will provide a clear roadmap for how every member—new or experienced—can confidently take part in contesting throughout the year.

This presentation will outline how our club plans to support and grow our involvement in amateur radio contesting, with a focus on making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. We’ll look at simple ways members can take part—whether from home, portable, or as part of a club team—along with the basic equipment needed and good operating practices to ensure a smooth and successful experience. This session is designed as an introduction to contesting, with a second, more detailed presentation planned for January 2026 that will dive deeper into techniques, strategy, and station setup.
