Welcome to the Verde Valley Amateur Radio Association
Contesting Special Interest Group
|  |
Contesting (also known as radiosport) is a competitive activity pursued by amateur radio operators. In a contest, an
amateur radio station, which may be operated by an individual or a team, seeks to contact as many other amateur radio
stations as possible in a given period of time and exchange information. Rules for each competition define the amateur radio
bands, the mode of communication that may be used, and the kind of information that must be exchanged. The contacts made
during the contest contribute to a score by which stations are ranked. Contest sponsors publish the results in magazines and
on web sites.
