Contest Working Group – Contesting Survey

We encourage all hams to participate—whether you are active, somewhat active, inactive, or have never contested. Your feedback is valuable!

📅 Deadline: Responses submitted by 16 March will be compiled and presented to the Contest Working Group. Thank you for your time and support!
