QRP CW/Digital Contest
The MBARC CW/Digital Contest runs the entire month of February, which means you get a bonus day this year. Details about the contest are on the EVENTS section of the MBARC web site. The purpose of this contest is to have FUN and get people to try something new. This year the rules were tweaked to allow contacts at your lowest transmitter setting. We don't want to exclude participants just because their transceiver can't be set at or below 5 watts. If you have a Google account, you can use the customized spreadsheet template to submit your log.
