Santa Contest 2025

 The SANTA CONTEST is back again this year, from an idea carried forward for many years by the legendary Joe 2AT041, whom we thank for the great and unique work done, we continue to organize this Christmas contest always in a spirit of friendship and fun.

 The contest we all know remains the same with only a few new features such as numerical calls, final rankings for everyone, hunters and SANTA STATIONS and the possibility of downloading your own personalized participation diploma with your score.

 Participation:
The event will take place from 1 to 31 December 2025 inclusive, and is open to all 11m operators and for the hunters prior registration is not required. Instead, operators who wish to become SANTA STATIONS must make a request to the Santa Contest Manager 1AT152 Francesco, by sending an email to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

 The Santa Contest Manager will assign a special numerical callsign to all requests, in chronological order; for example: 1AT/SC1, 1AT/SC2, 1AT/SC3, etc. (we abandon the use of letters, to make callsigns shorter and simpler)

 The list of all participating SANTA STATIONS will be available on our AT portal alfatango.org, official Facebook page, and via a printable checklist.

 Band and bandplan:
Activity must take place on 11m band. The section of the band between .500 and .600 included (so called DX part) cannot be used for QSO.

 Scoring:
Hunters can only make QSO with SANTA stations once.
Exchange and Validity of contacts: There is no serial number system (no progressive numbers). Just 5/9, in the log. The validity of the QSO will be verified by our softwares. There is no need for hunters to submit their log: QSO will be confirmed based on the SANTA stations logs.

 Rankings and Certificate download:
Two separate rankings will be created, one for hunters and one for the SANTA STATIONS, and all hunters and SANTA STATIONS can download their participation certificate (digital full color award A4) from the AT Portal. (Check for Certificate download and all possible data: www.alfatango.org)

 No More Paper QSL Cards!

 Logs - Internal, For Activators Only: SANTA CONTEST 2025 Logs must be sent no later than January 10, 2026. Only logs created by ATLOGGER are accepted according to the software instructions. At the end of the SANTA CONTEST, activators are required to send the log via ATLogger’s SEND LOG button. Paper logs or logs created by different software will NOT be accepted.

   Have Fun Everyone!!
