OK..I figured out how to add this calendar and keep it sync'd with my Thunderbird calendar.

Next is to figure out how to integrate all of this with my other Google Calendars.

BTW..the DXpedition calendar is great!

Thank you Bill,

The original poster, Tim, sent me this link. I was unable to find out anything about who publishes this, however. Thanks for providing some information.

Next question..I use the calendar feature in the Thunderbird e-mail client (lightning) and the DX calendar displays just fine. I wonder if there is a way to set this up so that it automatically refreshes the .iCal file? Anyone know how this is done or if it is possible?

I'm thankful for WA7BNM for his contest calendar and NG3K for his
DXpedition calendar.

Is there much interest in having iCal type reminders for either contests or
DXpeditions?

Just for the record, there already exists an iCal format calendar dataset
based on the data from ADXO (Announced DX Operations).  I believe it's
updated multiple times a day.  I understand it works with Apple Calendar
and I can personally vouch that it works with Google Calendar. The dataset
resides here:
