#European HF Championship

The European HF Championship is a short HF contest in which the exchange contains a year in addition to the signal report. Because it lasts hours rather than a full weekend, planning matters more than endurance: the first band, the moment of changing bands and the way of handling multipliers should be decided in advance. The exact definition of the year, the categories and the operating limits are set by the sponsor and can change. Fast operating leaves little room for error, so careful copying and a quick review of the callsigns after the event are especially valuable. The articles under this tag give general strategy and logging advice for short contests. They are written for contesters who want to make the most of a few intense hours.
