With a new ATV contest season looming, I've posted a video on YouTube that might convince those who were hesitant.

Yes, of course!

Oops, 
It was wrongly mentioned it is the first weekend of those months. That should be second weekend of those months!
Additionally in the Netherlands DATV (digital ATV) in the third full weekends of April and August.
I corrected it in the video and changed the link in the first post (https://youtu.be/-ZAu5vVLejc ).
In an email to contests@batc.tv I pointed out that websites weren't up-to-date.
https://wiki.batc.org.uk/IARU_ATV_contest with expired information.
https://batc.org.uk/contests/ with the upcoming activity weekends in 2024?
I know dates are in CQ-TV but for outsiders that visits these pages it looks activities stopped .
Unfortunately, I didn't receive a response; I'm sure it will be fine.
Enjoy,
