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.
