For those looking to get on the air this weekend no matter what your favorite mode is there are plenty of radio sport events happening. First up our friends just to the east in Vermont are having their QSO party. The 67th Vermont QSO Party will take place during the first full weekend of February 2025. It will begin at 0000 UTC Saturday February 1 and will end at 2400 UTC Sunday February 2, which is a 48-hour period. In local time, this corresponds to a start time of 7:00 PM EST FRIDAY night January 31st and an end time of 7PM SUNDAY night February 2nd. The VERMONT QSO PARTY provides the opportunity for Amateur Radio Operators to contact and exchange QSO information with Vermont Amateur Radio operators. All licensed amateur radio operators are invited to participate. Stations outside Vermont work Vermont stations. Stations within Vermont work everyone. The discussion below is a summary of the QSO Party. Please download The Official 2025 Vermont QSO Party Rules for specific rules. If FT is your thing you wont want to miss the LABRE-RS DIGI CONTEST is an international amateur radio competition, which aims to promote digital amateur radio in Brazil in an event alluding to the anniversary of LABRE-RS. It starts on February 1, 2025 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on 2 p.m. at 20:59 (UTC). We will use the FT4 and FT8 modes in the bands of 80 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters, 15 meters and 10 meters. Recommended FT4 ft s Recommended sub-bands for FT8 3,580-3,589 7,080-7,089 14,080 - 0,089 21.080-21, 809 28,080-28,089 3.590-3,599 7,090-7,099 14,090-14,099 21.290-21,099 28,090-28,099 Instructions: Put the radio frequency at the bottom of the sub-band and work the stations on audio frequencies within the radio pass band (usually 2.5 to 4kHz wide). If a sub-band gets crowded, increase the working frequency in increments of 3kHz as needed. (For example: 7,080; 7,083 and 7.086). You will not be allowed to use more than one (1) streaming (multistreaming). Exchange Grid square with four characters Score QSO Points: QSO’s are scored only once per band, be it FT4 or FT8. QSO’s are worth 1 (one) plus one (1) point for each station in Rio Grande do Sul (3rd region – PU3, PY3,...) contacted. Multipliers: Multipliers have a value of 1 (one) for each Grid Field of two different characters contacted in each band. Totalization: The final score is the sum of the QSO points in all bands multiplied by the sum of the grids. Example: 800 QSO points times 40 grids achieved, equals the total of 32,000 points. Complete details at https://labre-rs.org.br/labre-rs-digi-contest/ (You will need to use the translate feature of your browser) With the solar flux currently at 150 the 10-10 Int.
