Succoth Contest

Succoth VHF-UHF Contest is on October 10th 2025, between 10:00 and 13:00. Part of the idea is emergency preparedness – making sure radios and antennas are ready to go. Even if you're not going to enter, why not get on their air and give away a few points?

The contest exchange is your grid square (beginning KM71 or KM72 usually). Not sure what your square is? Take a look here: https://qsl.design/en/find-qth-locator/
