International Marconi Day - Rules

We can't imagine a world without radio!

2027 EDITION: 24-25 APRIL (48h) 
From 00:00 UTC 24/04/2027 to 23:59 UTC 25/04/2027

This is not a Contest. There is no ranking or special prizes. The special stations will operate and answer to all the hunters worldwide in honor of the Radio and in memory of its inventor Guglielmo Marconi.

Participation: The event is open to all 11m operators and for the hunters prior registration is not required.

Band and bandplan: Activity must take place on 11m. The section of the band between .500 and .600 included cannot be used for QSO. In fact, our special stations will operate on the basis of this bandplan. Participants are encouraged to comply with current legislation regarding the use of their equipment and the allocated band.

Scoring: Hunters can only make QSO with special stations once.

Exchange and Validity of contacts: There is no serial number system. Just 59 or 599, in the log.

The validity of QSO will be verified by our software. There is no need for hunters to submit their log: QSO will be confirmed based on the special stations logs.

Certificate Download: All hunters can dowload their participation certificate from the AT Portal.

No paper QSL!
