New YB Club Plaque now available for the 2023 SSB contest

The Oceania DX Contest committee is pleased to announce a late addition to the contest for 2023.

In line with our ongoing work to develop Indonesian interest in contesting, this year will feature the introduction of a new plaque supporting Indonesian club activity in the contest. Thanks to Karsono, YB0NDT, this new plaque will be awarded to the top entrant from an Indonesia club station (using callsign prefixes 7A – 7I) in the Phone Multiple-Operator Single-Transmitter category in the 2023 SSB contest.

We look forward to growing the number of Indonesian club stations that get together and participate in this event!

RULE Changes for 2023

There is only one small rule change in 2023, with Rule 15c now requiring any paper logs to be electronically copied (e.g. a photocopy or photos from a camera) and emailed to the OCDX Contest Committee at info@oceaniadxcontest.com.  The committee of course would prefer that all logs are submitted in Cabrillo format through the main logging portal so please only email us copies of paper logs as a last result. Note: the PO Box used for previous year’s contests has now been closed.


See you all on the bands!
