 >We are pleased to invite you and the members of your Southern California
 >Contest Club 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 Southern California Contest Club club will
 >enjoy taking part in 2003 Russian DX Contest.
