Sometimes it takes a little inspiration to try different facets of our hobby… Here’s an Amateur Radio Challenges Checklist from RATPAC to expand your horizons.

How many tasks on the checklist can you complete in 2025?

ARRL Straight Key Night will be January 1, 2025, from 0000 UTC through 2359 UTC. This 24-hour event is not a contest but rather a day dedicated to celebrating our CW heritage.

ARISS will be conducting an SSTV experiment from the International Space Station (ISS) beginning December 25th and running through January 5th.

Yesterday, our club—ARROW—held its annual holiday get-together. We had a great turnout, and it was a lot of fun. It’s a really great club, and I’m really happy to be a part of it.

The January 2025 Contest Corral is available for download from the ARRL Contest Calendar page.
