H26 contest activity reports:
HTC on the Air during USKA contests: H26, NMD.
For more than 10 years, the USKA/HTC NMD Commission has organized the USKA National Mountain Day contest. The NMD contest takes place on the 3rd Sunday in July using CW only, on the 80m band, and generally with small rigs with output in the range of 5W. More than half the participants are also HTC members. The contest participants traditionally meet for a post-contest gathering three weeks after the contest itself in the town of Olten. Further information is available at the NMD website
