ES100 - SPECIAL EVENT STATIONS FROM ESTONIA
Special Event Stations with ES100 prefix were activated from Estonia to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Estonian Republic (on 24.02.2018). The activity period for 15 different call-signs was from February 1st till March 31st 2018. During these 2 months an incredible amount of ca 162 thousand QSO-s were made by the ES100 stations on all HF bands! Please now download your awards, order the wooden plaques and give us a notice if your want a paper QSL via the bureau! All this can be done via the special web-page at:

All the QSO-s will also be uploaded to LoTW.
Many thanks to everybody for the super activity!

ES OPEN HF CHAMPIONSHIP 2018
You are all invited to participate in the traditional ES Open HF Championship Contest held on Saturday, 21st of April!
Contest bands: 80m and 40m simultaneously. Foreign (non ES) participants can work only ES-stations during the contest (ES-stations can also work each other).
The contest starts at 5:00 UTC and has 4 tours (subcontests), each lasting 1 hour. Any ES-station can be contacted twice during this hour on 80m and twice on 40m - one QSO in CW and one in SSB on both bands! So, maximum number of QSO-s with the same station during the whole contest (in mixed category) can be 16 (4x4). The contest ends at 8:59 UTC.
Contest exchange: RS(T) + serial No, starting 001 (number is continuous).
Each CW QSO gives 2 points, each SSB QSO 1 point.
Different ES-call areas (prefixes ES0 - ES9) serve as multipliers on each band and mode (max 40)!
Score: Sum of QSO points x total multiplier.
The complete rules of the contest can be found here!
The Contest Committee recommends N1MM+ Logging Software for this contest - see the instructions here!
