ARRL International Digital Contest The ARRL International Digital Contest begins 1800 UTC Saturday, June 6 and runs through 2359 UTC Sunday, June 7. The exchange is your four-character grid square, and you can work stations on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, and 6 meters using any digital mode that isn't RTTY. Scoring: Each contact counts for one (1) QSO point, plus an additional point for each 500 km of distance between the centers of the 4-digit grid squares of the two stations, rounded up to the next highest value. See the Special Rules for scoring details. You can contribute your score to our ARRL Affiliated Club by selecting the clubs name when you upload your log.

The best part: contacts made during the ARRL event overlap with TDW, so you can log toward both at the same time too!
