Now there's a lot more slots coloured red, meaning a lot more void not being claimed by our national ham radio team... 🙄 #SN0HQ #IARUHF

Uh-oh, #SN0HQ is off on 40m SSB 😳 ... so much for national mobilization to win #IARUHF Championship 2025 🙄 #hamradio

But... what about the #weather?

TV says, rain everywhere, thunderstorms in most of the country.

Yet models don't seem to confirm that fear. Sunday afternoon will be worse though.

#SN0HQ itself have armed themselves too this year. "Fresh blood", new captain, new stations participating. And an adif-to-cabrillo log converter. #IARUHF

The text also outlines two more strategies to help #SN0HQ win #IARUHF 2025.

One is to make your call a few Hz off the SN0HQ's frequency - both in CW & SSB.

The second strategy is more curious though - we're encouraged NOT to call other HQ stations that are likely to win! ❌🥸

Are you in? 😂

The same text appeared in PZK's news bulletin, with a graphic comparing the number of domestic contacts of #DA0HQ and #SN0HQ in #IARUHF 2002.

PZK/SN0HQ believes German victories in the contest are largely the result of compatriots' efforts, hence the mobilization of Polish radio amateurs this year.

Today & tomorrow is a big #contest day on #hamradio - the #IARU HF Championship 2025 🌐🏆

#SN0HQ team wrote an extensive post encouraging fellow Polish hams to contact them - in contrast to the past 2 years' limited comms, even two-liners, not necessarily posted in time.

The ARRL writeup adds a lot of tables listing many records... not sure if they're all-time-highs or just 2024's 😂

What I am really interested in though is the HQ station results.

🥇 #DA0HQ
🥈 #GR2HQ
🥉 #EF4HQ

My compatriot #SN0HQ placed 9th 🙄

No wonder... their domain is now listed in auction! 🤡

It's really surprising how well I'm hearing our own #SN0HQ on 20m throughout the day 😲 #IARU #IARUHF #hamradio #hamr
