ARRL June VHF Contest


About

Contest Objective: For amateurs in the US and Canada (and their 
possessions) to work as many amateur stations in as many different 2 
degrees x 1 degree Maidenhead grid squares as possible using authorized 
frequencies above 50 MHz. Stations outside the US & Canada (and their 
possessions) may only work stations in the US (and its possessions) and 
Canada.

Dates: The second full weekend in June. (June 14-16, 2025)

Contest Period: Begins 1800 UTC Saturday, ends 0259 UTC Monday.


Notice: Participants in the FM Only category can now count contacts made 
on 902 MHz and 1.2 GHz toward their scores. Previously, only contacts on 
the four lowest VHF bands (50, 144, 222 and 432 MHz) counted toward 
participants' scores in this category.

Awards:

Downloadable Certificates will be awarded in the following categories at 
https://contests.arrl.org/certificates.php

Single Operator:

- Top Single Operator in each ARRL/RAC Section for high and low power.

- Top Single Operator on each band (50, 144, 222, 432, 902, 1296 and 
2304-and-up categories) in each ARRL/RAC Section where significant 
effort or competition is evident. (Note: Since the highest score per 
band will be the award winner for that band, an entrant may win a 
certificate with additional single-band endorsements.) For example, if 
KA1RWY has the highest single-operator all-band score in the CT Section 
and her 50- and 222-MHz scores are higher than any other CT single 
operator’s, she will earn a certificate for being the single-operator 
Section leader and endorsements for 50 and 222 MHz.

significant effort or competition is evident. (Single Operator Portable 
entries are not eligible for single-band awards.)
