The ARRL Contest Programme Manager Paul N1SFE had let me know he was comfortable for WRTC 2026 to include the contest scores when the respective QST magazine issues were published. There is no timeline yet when the full scores database will be available at contests.arrl.org but Paul was happy this should not affect the update of the WRTC qualification standings. We should expect to see the ARRL DX SSB results added in about 4 weeks time.
As usual, where there are corrections or amendments needed please contact the team at [email protected] Some entrants are now counted against a changed qualification area following previous feedback and discussion.
