Frequently Asked Questions

What is an iCal (ICS) calendar?

iCal (or ICS for "iCalendar") is a standard file format used by virtually all modern calendar software. It's a universal format that allows you to share events between different applications. When you subscribe to an iCal calendar, you automatically receive updates from that calendar based on its synchronization frequency.

Will my expeditions update automatically?

Yes! When you subscribe (rather than download), your calendar will automatically synchronize with our server approximately once per day. New DXpeditions, cancellations, and date changes will automatically appear in your calendar. If you're using Google Calendar or Outlook, updates typically happen within an hour of publication.

Which calendar app is best to use?

All modern calendars support iCal. Use whichever is already integrated into your operating system: Google Calendar (web and Android), Outlook (web and Windows), Apple Calendar (macOS and iOS), or Evolution/Thunderbird (Linux). The choice matters less than consistency - use the one you already use for your other events.

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. Our iCal calendar feed contains only public information about DXpeditions (dates, callsign, DXCC, etc.). No personal data is collected or stored. Your personal calendar remains private and stored locally on your device. You have full control over who can see your calendar.

How often is the calendar updated?

Our iCal feed is updated every 6 hours with the latest DXpedition data. Your calendar application will synchronize with our feed approximately once per day (frequency may vary by application). For near-real-time updates, check our main expeditions page.
