Dear entrant in the 2023 OCDX contest
A reminder to get ready for the 2024 Oceania DX Contest. The Phone (SSB) event runs for 24 hours starting 06:00 UTC on Saturday 5 October. The CW event is on the following weekend and runs for 24 hours starting 06:00 UTC on Saturday 12 October.
This is the 79th running of the Oceania DX Contest, and with solar conditions the way they are, we are expecting some big scores this year. Conditions are the best they have been in more than a decade, so the opportunity to make contacts with stations in Oceania has never been better!
We are pleased to advise that three new plaques are being awarded this year to the highest scoring entrant in:
AFRICA for the PHONE Single Operator ALL band category (sponsor Karsono Suyanto YB0NDT)
SOUTH AMERICA for the PHONE Single Operator ALL band category (sponsor Karsono Suyanto YB0NDT)
NEW ZEALAND for the CW Single Operator ALL Band LOW power category (sponsor Yannick Devos ZL4YY)
Remember to read the rules for the contest – you can find them at https://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/rules.
Please reach out to if you have any questions.
73 and we look forward to seeing you all on the air again on both weekends!
