Hi everyone
The 2010 Oceania DX contest is now only 3 weeks away, on the first two
full weekends of October. This is a great opportunity to give your
station a test drive for the new DX contest season and 'warm up' for
the big CQ WW events later in the year.
The aim of the contest is to promote HF contacts with stations in the
Oceania region. We are expecting a good turn out from VK, ZL and YB
stations, as well as stations from some of the rarer South Pacific
entities. Note that Oceania stations can work other Oceania and
non-Oceania stations. Non-Oceania stations can only work Oceania
stations.
We are pleased to announce a new plaque for the 2010 contest. Chris
Chapman VK3QB is sponsoring a plaque for the top entrant from Oceania
in the CW Single Operator All Band category. We are most grateful to
Chris for his generous sponsorship of this new plaque.
