THE NEXT BUG DAY WILL BE THURSDAY JANUARY 1, 2026

0000Z TO 2359Z

(Future dates will fall on Jan. 1 and the third Saturday of each July)

There has been continued interest in an activity twice per year where the idea is to get on the air using those bug keys. Bug Day is open to FOC members and non-members. Calling CQ Bug Day is suggested. Frequencies are 25 khz above the 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m band edges and up as needed.

Please include a description of the bug being used in your QSO. There are no scores, forms or logs needed. Please send a simple list of stations worked who were using bugs and your vote for best bug fist to Benny K5KV. Participants can contact Benny K5KV at email listed on QRZ.com with questions.
