    We're celebrating our 25th anniversary with a huge amateur radio equipment and prize giveaway! Today we've chosen our third round of winners!

    Congratulations to Mike Ide, VK3KTO has won a brand new ICOM ID-51A Plus2 handheld in the QRZ Sweepstakes.

    Congratulations also to Gregory Van Scott, WZ2n, and Michelle Schackow, N8ORG who will each receive a DX Engineering Swag Kit, including ball cap, umbrella, mug, pocket pad and pen. These swag kits will be given away weekly and the winners will be chosen from the pool of individuals who have scored a 100% on any one of our daily quizzes.

    Good luck to the rest of our participants. To see the other prizes available please visit our Prize Forum.

    We have received over 55,000 entries to the contest already and you still have a chance to enter once per day from now through December 5th! Entering the sweepstakes is easy - simply visit our newly designed Trivia Challenge page and complete the daily quiz. Each time you complete the daily quiz, your call will be entered into the sweepstakes. It's as simple as that. You may play the quiz and enter once per day until the main sweepstakes drawing on December 5, 2018.

    No purchase or subscription of any kind is required to participate. Buying a subscription or any product or service from QRZ or any of its advertisers or sponsors will NOT increase your chances of winning. This sweepstakes is designed for your fun and enjoyment, and potentially a great prize.

    You can enter the sweepstakes now by going to The QRZ 25th Anniversary Trivia page

    For a complete rundown on the rules and eligibility requirements, please visit the Sweepstakes Rules page.

    Yes , indeed this is one of the best forms of contest entry . Just answer the trivia. Fun and entertaining but also educational too. Very worthwhile time spent online, with added benefit of entry into a legitimate contest that has some pretty nice prizes. For those who never win anything.... while I wouldnt hold my breath or have ultimate expectations, if you enter you have a chance as good as anyone. Regardless the odds, someone will in fact win. It might as well be you or me or anyone.
    Regardless of the prize this is entertaining.

    You have to score 100% to win anything? Once you complete a quiz and on the sweepstakes rules no where does it say that. Or is that just for the swag bags?

    I think that is just for swag bags, but it is still a nice little prize.

    False! One can take the quiz once every 24 hours (the time cycle begins after you complete the quiz for the first time and enter). Also, IT DOES NOT MATTER *WHAT* SCORE YOU GET!!!...ALL QUIZES GO INTO THE "POT'!...Up until the 5th of December 2018 IIRC

    What a surprise I got when I found that I had won an Icom duel band D star hand held. As I only have an old 2 Metre only hand held at the moment it will come in very handy. I must say that I always enjoy doing the Trivia Quiz, a lot more fun than doing a crossword!
    Just to prove that you don't need 100% I think the best I have done is 80%. As a lot of the questions relate to FCC rules and American call signs, as a VK I don't think that's too bad!
    When I first turn on my computer, after checking my emails, I always visit the QRZ.com page. I find QRZ provides a host of entertaining and informative information.
    Many than's to QRZ and Icom.
