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 2m & Down + 23cm. In February the 13cm & Up + 23cm bands will be used, followed by March with the 70cm & 23cm 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.
