RaDAR is Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio, conceived by Eddie Leighton ZS6BNE. RaDAR encourages outdoor operations with a unique challenge: make five contacts and redeploy as quickly as possible within four hours. The RaDAR Challenge has become the RaDAR Rally with some rule tweaks. Please take a look at the complete rules here. If you are interested, please make your plans and register. Registration will facilitate RaDAR to RaDAR contacts. Email your registration info below to the RaDAR Rally POC, Greg Lane, at lanekg@gmail.com. I'll accept registrations through April 3rd UTC. If your plans change, send me an update. This is not a contest; it is just for fun! Check out this intro video and the April 2026 roster here.
