DX SSB Contest |
|
|
For a number of years, the RSGB has been concerned
that members’ participation in its annual October HF DX Contest (and in
the 21/28 events that proceeded it), has not been adequate to justify
an international event of many hours duration. For that reason we have
chosen to enter a partnership with the organisers of the two UK/EI DX
Contests (CW and SSB) and to incorporate these contests in the RSGB HF
contest calendar, while discontinuing the DX Contest. The contest is adjudicated by the UK/EI DX adjudication team and the results are published both on the UK/EI website and on the RSGB HF Contest Website. |
|
| 1. Objective | The
aim of this contest is to promote contacts between stations in the U.K.
and Ireland (UK/EI) and stations in the rest of the world (DX). All UK and EI contesters, including those with modest stations and antennas, will experience the fun of being a 'Multiplier' in a worldwide contest. There are long periods in the 24 hours when DX stations cannot work UK/EI stations because there is no propagation, so all entrants can work all other entrants for QSO points and multipliers. However a good score will only be achieved by working sufficient numbers of UK and EI stations and UK/EI district code multipliers. |
| 2. Date & Time | Saturday
30 September - Sunday 1st October 2023 1200 - 1200 UTC QSOs will not be accepted at or past the end time |
|
Frequency: 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz Mode: SSB only Only one signal may be transmitted at any one time. Exchange: RS + Serial number + 2-letter District Code. The 155 UK and EI district codes are almost, but not entirely, aligned with Postcodes, so entrants should check carefully that they are sending the correct District Code. For example, stations in Northern Ireland have six possbile District Codes, not just BT. The Full rules are available on the UKEICC
website |
