SUMMARY:Route 66 is turning 100!
DESCRIPTION:  \nSaturday Sept 12th at 0001Z to Sunday Sept 20th at 2359Z \nIn 2026\, amateur radio operators from across the country and around the world will once again come together to celebrate one of America’s most recognizable highways during Route 66 On The Air. \nThis year is particularly special. \nFrom its establishment in 1926 to the present day\, Route 66 has represented travel\, adventure\, small-town America\, friendship\, and the freedom of the open road. For amateur radio operators\, Route 66 On The Air gives us another way to keep that history alive: one contact at a time. \nA Tradition That Began in 1999\nRoute 66 On The Air has its own history within amateur radio. The event was originally founded and started in 1999 by the Northern Arizona DX Association\, which operated the event for its first two years.  In 2001\, the Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club (CBARC) took the reins and has proudly continued that tradition ever since. That makes 2026 the 25th consecutive year that W6JBT and CBARC have sponsored Route 66 On The Air. The official sponsoring club website for the event is: W6JBT.ORG

SUMMARY:Florida QSO Party  Sponsored by the Florida Contest Group
DESCRIPTION:The Florida QSO Party is sponsored by the Florida Contest Group. Since it’s re-introduction to the contest scene in 1998\, the Florida QSO Party has become one of the fastest-growing and most popular State QSO Parties around today. This is due\, in part\, to the tremendous effort by the mobile teams to activate as many counties as they can in order to allow those participating from out-of-state to achieve a county “Sweep” (working all 67 Florida Counties). Florida stations operating from home are also valuable\, since that increases the chances that stations will work all counties! Regardless if you are a serious or casual participant from Florida or from outside of Florida\, the Florida QSO Party was designed to be a FUN operating event. Why not give it a try? \nNote: The 2025 Florida QSO Party log submission deadline has passed. Thanks to everyone who participated. \nThe FQP was terrific in 2025\, with many citing personal bests\, storms and love bugs staying away\, and terrific activity! The PIRATES 1×1 theme was quite popular with two stations per letter and 665 sweeps (before log checking adds a few net as busted calls outweigh NILs). 10 & 15 meters were open most hours\, yet 20 meters still provided the lion’s share of the contacts. Logs were received from YB and VU\, among many others. Thanks to everyone’s contribution! \nDan\, K1TO FQP Director
