[CQ-Contest] Early Contests?...

[Trent and Lorraine Sampson]

Hi Stewart 

I recall reading that the Oceania DX test - formerly the VK/ZL claimed to be the oldest contest and it started back in the late 1920's (?) from memory..I wasn't there :-)

Need to find my source to forward over. 

Regards  

Trent

Can anyone help with some research? When was the first amateur radio contest? Does anyone have any details of early contests? Reply direct.
Many thanks and 73,
