WRTC 2026 Rescored: What Happened and What’s Next (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WRTC 2026 ended with one podium. Weeks later, an investigation produced another. The World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) brings together many of the world’s top contest operators to compete from comparable stations under a common set of rules. I'm joined by Randy Thompson K5ZD, Chris Hurlbut KL9A, Dan Craig N6MJ, and Bill Fehring W9KKN to examine the investigation that led to four WRTC teams being disqualified and the final results being rescored. Almost immediately after the competition,

The Beta Version of the Next.POTA.app is live, bringing new tools for operators and a faster development model for what comes next.

Get Ready! NAQP SSB: Contest Manager N6MJ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dan Craig N6MJ is one of world's top contesters—and now the new contest manager for the North American QSO Party SSB contest.

Dan explains what goes on behind the scenes of running NAQP and why its simplicity matters. The exchange is just a name and state, singl
How Two Young Contesters Beat the Odds at WRTC 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Finishing near the top at WRTC takes far more than fast operating. It demands preparation, teamwork, logistics, and thousands of decisions made under pressure. Connor Black W4IPC and Kees Van Oosbree W0AAE join me after their outstanding performance at WRTC 2026, where they captured the Youth Championship and finished 17th overall, outperforming many veteran world-class contest teams. We discuss how they qualified, why they set a modest Top 25 goal, and what surprised them most once competition
Life After WRTC: Next Steps for the Contest Crew (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WRTC may be over, but for serious contesters, the work that determines the next season is already underway. I'm joined by Randy Thompson K5ZD, Chris Hurlbut KL9A, and Bill Fehring W9KKN for another Q5 Contest Crew roundtable, starting with the still-unresolved WRTC results and moving quickly into a remarkable August NAQP CW. Randy worked roughly 650 stations in only four and a half hours, while the crew looks at huge rates from 8P5A, KP2M, and young Q5 regular W0AAE operating from Iowa. But the
