Most radio amateurs know what contests are. In general, within a set period of time, stations operated by one or more radio amateurs try to make as many contacts as possible, searching for countries, distances, locations, or regions to multiply your points according to the rules of the competition. The best-known contests worldwide are those sponsored by CQ magazine, the CQ World Wide DX (CQWW), and CQ WPX Contests.
But, of course, there are other different and interesting contests around the world. Today I invite you to learn about one of the most important contests that takes place in Brazil, the “Verde e Amarelo” contest, or Green and Yellow, the colors of Brazil’s flag (Photo A).
The Green and Yellow Contest, in Portuguese “Verde e), the radio club at the Brazilian Army School of Communications (). The CRAEC was founded in 1955 with the mission of promoting amateur radio activities among the members of the school, as well as the integration of the Army with Brazilian radio amateurs.
