Home page of the Oceania DX Contest

The Oceania DX contest has been around since the mid 1920s and was known previously as the VK/ZL Contest. Activity has increased in recent years due to a huge promotional effort by the joint Australian and New Zealand Contest Committee.

There are some changes to the certificates for the 2010 contest in order to make a wider range of certificates available, reduce costs, and speed up the delivery process:

Certificates are awarded to the winning station in each entry category, for each country and continent.
Participation certificates are awarded to every entrant that made at least one valid QSO in the 2010 contest.
All of the certificates have been published on-line as pdf files for entrants to download and print at their convenience.
The certificates will not be posted unless specifically requested in writing from entrants who made at least 10 valid QSOs and also won a category in their country. Any such requests must be submitted to the Contest Committee info@oceaniadxcontest.com by 9 September 2011.
Participation certificates cannot be posted.
