DARC RTTY Short Contests 2026

The results of the 3rd RTTY Short Contest 2026 are published. Due to good conditions on 40m and as well on 80m, we had very good activity with 97 logs in total (25 logs from outside DL). After log- and crosscheck Dieter, DQ9Y, had a hard fight vs. Burkhard, DF8XC, to defend his 1st place. Nevertheless, great score ! So please fellow contesters from EU, keep on being around 2nd Tuesday in October 2026  ! 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.
