Neil King, VA7DX, summarized the RAC Winter Contest, noting it as a fun and unique event where Canadian provinces are multipliers, making Canadian amateurs highly sought after. This year, it served as a training session for new members, resulting in fewer contacts and points compared to last year. Despite this, the event was successful, with good conditions on higher bands and lots of participation. The new members enjoyed and learned a lot, and there are plans to improve and involve more members next year.
