I tried to go to the ARRL and get a copy of the results article, but
that part of ARRL is still broken.
I just remember it being my first time I broke 1000 contacts in a contest.
No computers, or even memory keyers back then all paper logs and dupe
sheets!

In 1976 it was called the Bicentennial Celebration. That year the FCC gave us
permission to change the prefix of our callsigns to begin with the letter A. I
was AA2ZBW that year.

In 1976 the ARRL sponsored a one-time contest to celebrate the bicentennial of the
USA. It was so popular that the same weekend was used the next year (1977) for a new
contest, and that would be the first iteration of today’s IARU contests.

I remember in the 80s it was called the IARU Radiosport, it was 48 hours long,
and 6, 2m and 70cm was included. HQ stations were not separate mults either. Not
sure when it changed to its current format. It was in its current format by 1993.

Dear All,
Does anyone know when was the first IARU HF Championship organized?
Cannot find the year on the web.
Thanks a lot,
73!
