Calling all contesters - it's time to get ready for the 77th OCDX contest!

 

First established in 1934 and earlier known as the VK/ZL contest, the
Oceania DX Contest (OCDX) is the only international HF radio contest where
the focus is on working DX stations throughout Oceania. Please join us again
over the first two weekends of October for the 77th running of this epic
event. 

 

PHONE - 06:00 UTC Saturday 1 Oct to 06:00 UTC Sunday 2 Oct 2022

CW - 06:00 UTC Saturday 8 Oct to 06:00 UTC Sunday 9 Oct 2022

 

The rules are the same as last year - see
https://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/rules  

 

Please submit a log, even if you only make one or two QSOs, so we can verify
these QSOs when calculating the final scores for all entrants. Upload your
log via the form at https://ocdx.contesting.com/submitlog.php.

 

Thanks to our generous sponsors, numerous plaques are available again this
year including some new ones for 2022:

*	Two new plaques (sponsored by Oscar Reyes VK3TX) are being
introduced this year to help promote participation by younger entrants (no
older than 25 years age) - one to the highest scoring youth entrant from
outside Oceania in any of the Phone Single Operator categories and the other
to the highest scoring youth entrant from Australia in any of the Phone
Single Operator categories.
*	A new plaque is also being sponsored by Rippletech Electronics
(VK3TZ) for the Local club or contest club from North America with the
greatest number of member stations participating in the contest. North
American entrants who wish to be considered for this plaque must clearly
state the full name of their club in the CLUB: field of the Cabrillo log
file header.
