This is the biggest operating event of the year in Poland with typically over 1000 SP stations on the air on both CW and SSB. For some, it is a competitive event, for others it is a chance to make a QSO with old friends. And for others yet, it is their only contest experience of the year and an opportunity to be seen and heard and to have fun. The success of this contest depends on the participation of DX stations like you, whether you are a veteran contester or just enjoy making casual contacts and giving SP stations an opportunity to work DX. It does not matter how much time you can spend and how many QSO’s you can make, we would like to see you in our logs! Please visit https://spdxcontest.pzk.org.pl where you can see the current rules and upload your log after the contest. Please note that logs can no longer be submitted via email. We request that the logs be uploaded by April 13, 2025, 23:59 UTC. All entries will be immediately posted on that web page, followed by email confirmations. The final results will be processed and made available by May 4. We have adopted an open log policy, so all logs will be in public view. Note the log analysis functionality that provides some useful information. Just click on your (or any other) call sign in the scores tab. You may test this in 2023, 2024 and other contest archives. Along with the results, certificates of participation and top scoring certificates by category, country and continent will be available for download. We also have a long list of plaques which have been sponsored by individuals and groups which you can see on the web page. Finally, you can qualify for various levels of the POLSKA Award for working the 16 provinces (województwa) of Poland.

VarAC
5
Does anyone play with "VarAC", a rather new digital mode? https://www.varac-hamradio.com/ I'm not much interested in the award-hunting digital modes, but I'm interested in the VarAC if it's a good tool for self-spotting. VarAC has the broadcast mode and I can announce my QRG or even invite to QSY CW. (So far, no luck, though. hi) Yeah, SKCC's SkedPage and other Internet services are doing such QRG, but I'm interested in covering all on the air only. Anyway, those who cannot reach me on the air by CW, let us try the VarAC. So we can check our connectivity by the SNR. Email me if you are interested in our SKED. // HIRO, JJ1FXF

First QSO's in the pocket!
4
I got my first QSO'd made from the campsite in Kamiyama, Tokushima pref. I don't know if there were A1 club members among them. There was someone who, if I understood correctly, I was his third QSO. The location isn't that great for DX as it is in between mountains, so it was all NVIS, but that didn't make it less fun ? Oh, at one moment I messed up my new callsign and sent JJ1 ? 73, Martin - JL1EFV/5
