- A few days ago there were some comments around contests and rules you would like to see. So here is one idea. At the moment CQ has a DX Marathon that runs for a year. I have been thinking what would

- It might be a good idea but I don't think it would attract DXers. Personal perspective - DXing is an activity you pursue over a lifetime and it largely fits in with your family and other time on a da

- Randy, Mark, I somehow missed Marks's message, and any discussion it generated, until today. I'm in the target group of this idea, a small time DXer, operating contests just to chase countries/zones/
