HF Data Transfer Challenge

Data rates are lifted!

The objective of this challenge is to transfer a 1.44 megabyte file in the shortest time possible over the HF bands.

Think of this challenge of a speedrun, where the fastest time is continually being updated. There's no official end date the challenge, so never stop innovating and trying! You can find the official white paper, and 1.44 megabyte binary file below, and FAQs here.

HF Data Transfer Challange

You might be thinking "No ones submitted anything, can I just submit something using slower data modes such as Winlink at 300 baud?"

YES!

A good starting point is to use existing software, then you can remix the software, or build your own from scratch; we want to see what you come up with!

You have to start somewhere right?

How do I submit? I'm glad you asked!

Send an email to submit@hfdatachallenge.top that includes a link to your video (Dropbox, Google Drive, Youtube, etc), and the time you're claiming.
