Saturday, January 18, 2025 – 2:00 PM EST to 6:00PM EST (1900 – 2300 UTC)
The Ohio VHF Simplex contest occurs concurrently with the first four hours of the ARRL January VHF Contest.
ARES is tasked with being able to provide communications “When all else fails.” Local communication is critical and typically takes place on the VHF or UHF amateur band. In order to improve our ability to perform on these bands, Ohio Section ARES is sponsoring the ARES VHF Contest (Yeah, we know, but calling it the Ohio VHF / UHF Contest got a little long-winded). Participants in the contest are encouraged to make as many contacts as possible within the time frame of the contest, with as many different geographical locations as the bands permit. The contest is open to all amateur operators, ARES members are strongly encouraged to participate. How else are you going to win the ‘bragging rights’ session of your next ARES or club meeting?
Contest Objective: For amateurs in the US and Canada (and their possessions) to work as many amateur stations in as many different 2 degrees x 1 degree Maidenhead grid squares as possible using authorized frequencies above 50 MHz. Stations outside the US & Canada (and their possessions) may only work stations in the US (and its possessions) and Canada.
Dates: The third or fourth full weekend in January as announced. (January 18-20, 2025)
Contest Period: Begins 1900 UTC Saturday, ends 0359 UTC Monday.
