Hi everyone
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 seven new plaques are being sponsored this year
for the highest scoring:
Entrant from AFRICA in the PHONE Single Operator ALL band category (sponsor
Karsono Suyanto YB0NDT)

Note: The OCDX Phone Contest and the California QSO Party (CQP) contest overlap
each other for 14 hours. During this period a California station can call an
Oceania station to make a contact in both contests. Similarly, an Oceania
station can also call a California station to make a contact in both contests.
See the web pages at https://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/news/1524 and
https://www.cqp.org/ocdx.html for guidance on how California and Oceania
stations can participate and submit logs in both contests.
Please reach out to info@oceaniadxcontest.com
<mailto:info@oceaniadxcontest.com> if you have any questions.
73 and we look forwarding to seeing you in the OCDX pileups!
