We invite all radio amateurs to celebrate the anniversary of our club. The Russian Digital Radio Club was founded on March 21, 2014. «10th Anniversary of RDRC» activity days will take place from 00:00 UTC on March 21 to 23:59 UTC on March 31, 2024 on all HF and VHF bands with any digital modes of radio communication. Repeated QSOs (observations) are counted on different bands and in different digital modes on the same band. For QSOs (SWL) with members of the RDRC and other amateur radio operators, a different number of points are awarded. The results will be summed up in the overall standings and diplomas with numbers will be issued, which will correspond to the occupied place in the world among licensed amateur radio operators and separately among SWL. We recommend that club members transmit the general call «CQ RC» or «CQ RDRC».
For the prize draw, the results of the participants will be divided into 10 subgroups. In these subgroups, we will raffle 10 personal prizes with the RDRC logo and the participant's call sign (one in each subgroup) among club members who will conduct QSOs (observations) in at least 10 digital modes (see the Digital modes MODE table below). An additional 10 club pennants will be drawn in a lottery (one in each subgroup) between all participants of the activity days. At least 100 QSOs (observations) are required to receive a diploma and participate in the prize draw regardless of the number of points scored. The diplomas will be published on the RDRC Awards website. You can download programs for digital radio communications on our website in the «Program Archive» section.
