The start time is nearly upon us for the 76th running of the Oceania DX Contest – when the world looks to work as much of Oceania as they can in 24 hours. The curtain goes up at 0600z on Saturday 2nd October. Based on the propagation we saw last week during CQ WW RTTY there should be some very good opportunities to work Oceania on many bands from at least 80m to 15m and perhaps even 10m if we are lucky. Don’t forget to also look at the long paths, particularly on 20 and 40m. Long path USA and Long path EU from VK last week was very much alive and well!
If you wish to participate this year, we highly recommend you take a look at the contest rules. They are available here:
New PlaquesThis year sees a couple of changes to the plaques and awards on offer. It is the first time that YL entrants will be competing for the coveted Florence McKenzie (Mrs Mac) Award in Oceania and the Austine Henry YL Award for operators world wide (outside of Oceania).
In addition, for our Indonesian competitors, there is a new plaque on offer for the INDONESIA CW Single Operator All Band Low Power category which is being sponsored by Karsono Suyanto YB0NDT!
You can find out more about our plaques, trophies and awards from our awards page
