Trans-Tasman Contests

These 6-hour Contests are in their 6th year, and are still getting bigger. That tells me that the format is popular, and that the Contests are filling a void in the VK/ZL contesting calendar.

They're rather different to most other Contests.
Suitable for novice and experienced contesters alike, with every conceivable compensator built into the scoring, to make it a level playing field for all, - regardless of your location, time zone or your country's level of participation.

A new Category has been included this year, for Foundation licensees. On 80 metres, the band spread has been increased for Phone, to help ease the congestion. As always, prompt results, purpose-written auto-logging programs, and great prizes.

So, get your antennas ready well in advance, and give it a go!
