The miniCTU program held on Friday, August 14, 2026  at HamX in Marlborough, MA, is a local single-track version of the 4-track Contest University program held during the week of the Dayton Hamvention (see contestuniversity.com for more details). Contest University and miniCTU sessions have been held in many countries and at major regional hamfests. This will be the third year of miniCTU at HamXpo, and is organized this year by Doug Grant, K1DG, and Ed Parish, K1EP.  The program will appeal to new and veteran contesters alike who are looking to hone their skills. Presenters drawn from the Northeast area will cover general contest operations, contesting skills, and will describe many resources and tools to allow you to have more fun in contesting.
