DARC RTTY Short Contests 2026

The results of the 2nd RTTY Short Contest 2026 are published. Due to good conditions on 40m and as well on 80m, we had very good activity with 131 logs in total (33 logs from outside DL and the first log from TF !!) and I can report the highest scores ever reached in this competition. After log- and crosscheck Dieter, DQ9Y, missed the 30K-barrier just by a few hundred points. Nevertheless, great score ! So please fellow contesters from EU, keep on being around 2nd Tuesday in July 2026 (July 14th) ! You'r welcome!

No changes of the rules for 2026 ! Be aware, that for a complete QSO, the exchange of RST AND serial number is mandatory. Leaving out the RST will save time and will give an advantage, but it is a violation of the contest rules for the DARC RTTY Short Contests and will lead to a score deduction.

So far we see, that the DARC RTTY Short Contest is set up in WinTest, N1MM, DX-Log and UCX-Log. Nevertheless, we see many users of fldigi in company with ADIF2CABRILLO and others.
