History of this contest began in 1996.</p>
After the first Ukraine RTTY championship was done (4-hours internal contest on 160 & 80 Meters bands),</br>the result shown that it was not much ukrainian hams operate RTTY-mode that time.</br>
So the idea became to make contest open-type - to invite RTTY'ers of other countries to take part also!</br>

The key point of the contest was defined before and not changed - provide full QSOs cross-check based on received logs and public results with UBN-files (QSO errors reports).<br> 
Even most of major contests of that time don't provided detailed error reports ever!</p>

From 2004 contest includes 40-10 Meters bands too, uses total of six bands  (160-10 Meters), there was two 4-hours parts,</br>
first - on 160 & 80 Meters, and second part - on 40-10 Meters.<br>

In 2013 contest extended to two 6-hour parts and 40 Meters band included in both parts too.</br>
