The BATC is holding twelve Activity or Contest Weekends, spaced at four-week (+/-) intervals during 2023.
As in 2022, the weekends will focus on three groups of bands on a repeating rota. Starting with January, the focus will be on 70cms. In February the 2m, 4m and 6m bands will be used, followed by March with 23cms and higher bands. That will then repeat for subsequent months in the same order, with June being skipped as that is the all-band IARU contest weekend. To ensure that all stations can get some activity, optionally 23cms can be used on every Activity Weekend during 2022.
