Dear contesters
The Oceania DX (OCDX) contest committee is pleased to announce that the results
of the 2013 OCDX contest are now available at
http://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/2013_Results.htm .
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who participated
in the contest, even if it was only to make one or two QSOs.
It was great to see a notable increase in the number of logs from Australia in
the CW section, and from Indonesia, New Zealand and other countries in Oceania
in both the PHONE and CW sections. This increased activity from Oceania
stations is encouraging, as growing Oceania participation is also critical for
attracting more participation from stations outside Oceania.
The terrific effort of Dave Mueller at NH2T deserves special mention. Dave has
won the prestigious Oceania SO ALL HP category in both the PHONE and CW
sections, as well as setting a new Oceania CW record. This was Dave’s last
entry from KH2 as he is now in the process of relocating QTH from Guam to
Hawaii. Dave has indicated that he is looking forward to continuing to
participate from KH6 in the future.
OCDX CONTEST RECORDS
We have created a database to identify all of continent and county records in
the contest since the current scoring was introduced in 2001. The full list of
records is now published on the contest web site at
http://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/2013_Results.htm .
2013 CERTIFICATES
Certificates have been awarded to the top scoring station in each category for
each continent and country. Additionally, a participation certificate
identifying the number of successful QSOs has been awarded to each station that
participated in the contest. The certificates are available online for
downloading and printing by individual entrants at their convenience. The web
link to the certificates is at http://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/2013_Results.htm

2014 OCEANIA DX CONTEST
The next OCDX contest will be held on the first two full weekends of October
2014 as follows:
PHONE: 08:00 UTC Saturday 4 October to 08:00 UTC Sunday 5 October
CW: 08:00 UTC Saturday 11 October to 08:00 UTC Sunday 12 October
The rules for the 2014 contest will shortly be published on our web site at
http://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/rules.pdf. We are pleased to announce that the
2014 rules will include the addition of a QRP category. This addition addresses
ongoing demand for such a category and we also think it will be beneficial for
encouraging participation by holders of entry level licences (such as the
Foundation licence in Australia) who are restricted to QRP power levels.
We look forward to seeing all the 2013 entrants again, along with new entrants,
in the 2014 event. Let’s make it the best OCDX party ever!
