The RDRC invites you to spend the January and May holidays in exciting on-air events. The days of activity «01-10» are a unique opportunity to master many digital protocols in a short time and consolidate skills in practical work with various digital modes of radio communication. Starting in 2024, we have a new activity schedule and new prizes. Licensed amateur radio operators and SWL can fulfill the conditions of a special certificate, which is issued in May according to the sum of the results for both periods of activity to all participants of both January and May «01-10». To obtain a certificate, it is necessary to conduct QSOs (observations) of at least 10 digital modes: for participants from Europe, at least 100 QSOs, for participants from Asia - 50 QSOs, for other participants - 30 QSOs. Three prizes will be drawn in a lottery among the members of the RDRC: the first - based on the results of January activity, the second - based on the results of May activity, the third - based on the results of the year among those who will participate in both periods of activity. We wish you success in «01-10» and good luck in the prize draw.

For diploma hunters, participation in «01-10» and other days of activity and contests of our club is a good opportunity to complete the new RDRC diplomas.
**********
Date and Time:
Digital Activity Days «01-10» are held annually in January and May in the following periods:
- from 00:00 UTC on January, 1st till 23:59 UTC on January, 10th;
- from 00:00 UTC on May, 1st till 23:59 UTC on May, 10th.
All logs must be sent no later than 5 days.
Types of modes:
QSOs conducted by the following digital modes are accepted for offset.
10 MODE(SUBMODE) in January:
CONTESTI, DOMINO, HELL, JT9, MFSK(MFSK16), MT63, OLIVIA, T10, THOR, THRB.
10 MODE(SUBMODE) in May:
FT8, HELL, JT65, JT9, MFSK(FT4), MFSK(MFSK16), OLIVIA, PSK(BPSK31,63), RTTY, T10.
General rules:
QSOs are counted with any stations around the world. Dupe radio contacts (SWL) can be conducted by different digital modes as on one band as well as on other bands. We recommend to work short QSOs with the following minimum information exchange: RSQ, name, locator. Spots in the Web cluster are welcomed. Contacts may be held by appointment (sked). We recommend to use narrow-band protocols. Other digital contests may take place in Days of Activity, therefore we ask not to occupy for ordinary QSO those frequencies where other contestmen work. The radio contacts conducted in digital contests during Digital Activity Days are also counted to the participants.
For the contacts in the seldom-used digital modes the following schedule is suggested for the 10 days of January and May activity. This calendar is advisory in nature and does not require obligatory execution.
