2025 Activity Weekends

This year I have aligned the Activity Weekend dates with the Dutch ATV Contest events. Including the IARU, there are 11 events next year, two less than 2024. The increased spacing during the colder months will take the pressure of turning out every four weeks away from portable stations and hopefully increase participation. The warmer months are closer spaced for a better chance of catching some Tropo. The August and October dates have been chosen to avoid CAT events, but they have not been determined yet.

All BATC Activity Weekends include 23cm in addition to the bands listed below and run for the full 48 hours GMT or BST as appropriate. Veron Contests run from 12:00 UTC Saturday to 18:00 UTC Sunday. Veron ATV Contests include DATV, whereas DATV Contests are exclusively digital.
