>We are pleased to invite you and the members of your CCF club to take part in the 10th (the  Jubilee) annual Russian DX Contest, which is to be held on March 15-16 2003.
> 
>It's  been  a  long  way  to  go  for  RDXC in the past 10 years. We can not help but notice huge increase of the amount of participating  stations, reaching the record level  of  1400 received  logs in 2002. Russian stations usually are very active in  RDXC representing almost all of the Russian regions and many RDA districts. 24-hour format seems to be a very suitable for everyone and there is usually a high level of competition in each category from all continents and the scores are growing every year, for example N2NT made over 2000 QSO in 24 hours last year!
>The  logs  cross-checking process and all the calculations are being made by using our original software;   starting  2000  every participant is getting so-called UBN files (errors list) along with  the certificate.
> 
>We  have  an  official WEB site http://www.rdxc.org  where you can find all of the RDXC-related information, as well as contest rules in 8 languages, FAQ's,  1997-2002  contests results, some articles, contest record  for each   country  and  Russian  region, announced operations, photogallery, etc.
> 
>The  contest  rules allow you to work any station anywhere in the world so there's always a good chance to make  a  good  score. Since 2003 any participant can claim for 'Russian District  Award'  on  the  basis  of  contest  log (no  QSL  needed), http://www.rdaward.org.
> 
>Effective 2003 RDXC  we introduce new rules for CLUBS competition. Now the  rules  are  based on CQ WW requirement, all club stations must be located within 500 km diameter circle. Check logs also will be counted for CLUBS competition.  So just get on the air for a part time effort (if you can't make it full time) and bring your points to your club!
> 
>In addition to great deal of different plaques there is also a new Trophy for 2003 North America Club category for the top NA club score, so now your club may show your  banner. In  any case if your CLUB has more than 5 participants, you would have a certificate and a contest booklet for your CLUB.
> 
>We hope that members of your CCF club will enjoy taking part in 2003 Russian DX Contest.
