Worked All Germany Contest
Worked-All-Germany Contest is a typical "Single-Country-to-DX" contest with a long lasting tradition and more than 2000 log submitting participants plus several thousand more active. So WAG generates about 10 000 individual hours of competetive or relaxed activity and fun. You can collect German DOK for several DARC awards, especially the DLD which is supported by the DARC Community Logbook. Our participants reports about the enjoyment of meeting a lot of old and new friends, going to unsual locations like qrp-expeditions to hilltops or sharing experience with rookies of all ages at Multi-Operator Stations.
Thank you all for participating in WAG :-)

WAG Contest went well — thanks for participating
The 66th edition of the WAG took place on the weekend of October 17-18.
Until Tuesday, October 22, we had received 1988 logs from 84 DXCC countries.
A total of 1028 logs arrived from DL. Most logs came from District F (75 logs), followed by District N (71 logs) and District P (63 logs).
WAG logs should be uploaded at www.dxhf2.darc.de/~waglog/upload.cgi. Questions can be directed to wag-info(at)dxhf2.darc.de. The submission deadline is October 25, 2026.
After the submission deadline, the raw scores—that is, the scores calculated without log verification—will be published. The evaluation process will then begin. Certificates will not be issued until the final results are in, which will take a little while.
60th edition of the Worked All Germany (WAG) Contest, October 2020
The 60th edition of the Worked All Germany (WAG) Contest will take place in October 2020. The first WAG took place in 1959 as WADM, and this 19 times. From 1980 on it was called WA-Y2 due to the callsign reform in the GDR. Then 1989 began a politically exciting year, the year of the turnaround in the GDR. The events overturned and finally Germany was reunited on October 3rd. Only two weeks later the Worked All Germany Contest took place. Whether WADM, WAY2 or WAG, this contest on the third weekend of October has become a worldwide event.
From 1967 to 1977 single and multi-man stations were divided into license classes, then from 1978 on single and SWLs were divided into "under" and "over" 18 years. From 1981 the QRP class was introduced, from 1985 there was a separate class for YLs. The WAG 1990 started then with the classes SOP all band, SOP all band QRP, MOP 1TX, and SWLs - from 1992 SOP all band divided into CW and Mixed - from 2002 SOP additionally divided into < and > 100 Watt. From 2019 on additional SSB classes are available.
Since the first contest in 1959, the evaluator and manager was Klaus, DL1DTL (DM2ATL, Y21TL). Of course he always got support, in the last years from Christian DL8MBS and Heiko DL1RTL. After 50 years of contest evaluation, Klaus then officially handed over to Christian (DL8MBS) in 2013. In 2017 Heiko (DL1RTL) took over the job of contest manager.
Let's all listen to each other again when it's time for the third weekend in October for the 60th: " CQ WAG " !
WAG on our own behalf
After 50 years of DL1DTL managing WAG the task shifted 2013 to DL8MBS, together with DL1RTL. We hope that participants will not notice any difference in how things are handled. So we invite all contesters to join the activity in WAG and hope to meet you in October. And now:
BIG THANKS to Klaus, DL1DTL
