International Marconi Day 2026

 IMD2026 (48 hours in total!)

IMD2026 - Stations & Operators list

All IMD2026 Stations are all mode and all activators (if interested) can operate all mode (DIG, CW, SSB) even simultaneously!

 e.g. 1AT0 (one Alfa Tango zero) all mode, simultaneously: 
 .265 FTx DIG
 .400 CW
 .405 SSB
multi operator, three signals, one for each mode, simultaneous transmission

 e.g. 1NC0 (one November Charlie zero)
 .400 CW or DIG (RTTY)
 .405 SSB or CW single operator, mixed

... And so on!

So, hunters can have QSO with the same station up to three times with 1 QSO for each mode.

 NOTE please that by digital modes we mean not only FT8 but all digital transmissions like RTTY, PSK, JS8, etc.

 NOTE again please: activators (and hunters) will freely choose the software they prefer to use during the event as long as the final log of the activating station is generated and sent by activators via ATLOGGER. (no log for hunters)

 A friendly recommendation: don’t get upset if the software for digital transmissions doesn’t accept your callsign for FTx QSO or something like that: these are merely technical issues that can happen even on other bands sometimes with big peditions too. Feel free to ask for any possible support to the software authors!

Have fun! wrd-imd 

 To activators and hunters:

 Q: Alex, good afternoon, xxxATxxx will operate in FT8 during the IMD2026. He's using xxxATxxx as callsign, but he said he ran a test with his digital modes software and it's not accepting his callsign. Could you please check how to proceed?

 A: Thanks for asking.

Note please that unfortunately FTx creates issues even on HF and sometimes even on big dxpeditions too: many callsign aren't accepted; many QSO aren't finalized and so on.

So, we can try to solve it as follows:

 Ask for support to our digital modes managers and/or to your favorite digital modes software author (...usually the software developers who adapt their software to contest and event's rules).

 Try different software (if any; check around!).

 Or simply ignore FTx and go directly to JS8, RTTY, PSK or any other digital modes!

It's nobody's fault: FTx is very difficult to develope and it's just a matter of bits, nothing more! Good Luck!
