I am proud to announce that registration is now open for the 2026 Dayton
ConTest University ("CTU") to be held all day on Thursday, May 14, 2026 at
the Hope Hotel. <https://www.hopehotel.com/> https://www.hopehotel.com/
This is the day before Hamvention opens in Xenia, Ohio. CTU 2025 Dayton was
amazing and we expect 2026 CTU to be even better!
Eight different countries have hosted CTUs over the past seventeen years.
USA, Australia, Russia, Germany, Italy, England, Brazil and Finland. Over
12,000 students have attended these CTUs with more than 120 CTU Professors
sharing their contesting experiences.
2026 CTU will be the 17th year for CTU at Dayton. To give you an idea of the
quality of the CTU content and activities you can see videos and PDF
presentations from past CTUs on the CTU web site at
<http://contestuniversity.com> http://contestuniversity.com
The 2026 CTU Dayton course outline will be posted once all professors have
confirmed for 2026. Check the CTU website frequently for updates. We have
several NEW (first time at CTU - experienced) professors for 2026! Each
presentation is carefully prepared with up to date information - the CTU
professors are experienced contesters and will share their knowledge. You
can ask questions and find out new ways to enjoy radio sport contesting!
There are scholarships (student registration fee paid) available for CTU
through a generous grant from the Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF)
for those students 25 years old and younger. Please use the "contact us"
button on the CTU website to get more information. 2026 Student registration
information is on the CTU web site now <http://contestuniversity.com>

CTU registration makes a great Christmas gift!
Important - as we did last year - if you want to sign up for CTU 2026 Dayton
and you have given (or will give one by Hamvention 2026) a talk about
Amateur Radio to any club, Hamfest or group since May 14, 2025 - you qualify
for a $10.00 registration fee discount. Please choose the "Registration with
Club talk discount" option to get the $10.00 discount. Spreading the word
about amateur radio is lots of fun and can save you money at CTU!
Thanks to all of the CTU sponsors including Icom America, DX Engineering,
the Northern California DX Foundation, YASME, ARDC, ARRL and the Radio Club
of America for making CTU possible. CTU would not happen without the
leadership of Teri, K8MNJ. Also thanks to K3MNJ, N8AMY and K1SO for all of
their help with CTU. Special thanks to Scott, KA9FOX from QTH.com for
hosting, constructing and maintaining the CTU headquarters web site.
***Please post this CTU announcement to your club newsletters, bulletins and
websites!
Hope to see you in Dayton at CTU 2026 and Merry Christmas,
Tim K3LR - Contest University Chairman
