[CQ-Contest] 2023 OCDX Phone contest is on this weekend

[bdm556 at bigpond.com]

Hi everyone

 

A reminder that the 78th Oceania DX (OCDX) Phone contest is happening this weekend, starting at 06:00 UTC on 7 October. The CW event is on next weekend starting 06:00 UTC on 14 October.

 

We had a record turnout last year so let’s see if we can beat that and have an even bigger party this year. More participants = more FUN!

 

Remember to read the rules for the contest – you can find them at https://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/rules 

 

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. The two contest committees have been working together to make it easier for stations to submit logs for both contests. See our web pages at https://www.oceaniadxcontest.com and https://www.cqp.org/ocdx.html for guidance on how California and Oceania stations can participate and submit logs in both contests.

 

Reach out to info at oceaniadxcontest.com <mailto:info at oceaniadxcontest.com>  if you have any questions.

 

73 and we look forwarding to seeing you in the OCDX pileups!
