2015-2016 PNW CHALLENGE CUP COMPETITION

NEXT: November 28-29, 2015:CQ WW DX CW LINK

There is an news article at this ORCA LINK on the recent 2014-2015 competition win of the ORCA folks from British Columbia. SDXA, at the annual Winter Awards Banquet, gives out a nice certificate for any member who enters all ten contests. Scores do not have to be huge to enter these contests and list your results. The member with the highest total score gets a special certificate!

The clubs participating are:

– BC DX Club LINK
– Idaho DX Association LINK
– Orca DXCC Club (new) LINK
– Spokane DX Association LINK
– Western Washington DX Club LINK
– Willamette Valley DX Club LINK

What you do is to enter as some or all of these contests and submit your scores (besides to the contest sponsor such as CQ Magazine or the ARRL) to our SDXA Secretary Jay WA0WWW who keeps a running tally for each SDXA entrant. At irregular intervals, he will publish the latest partial SDXA member scores in the contest. And hopefully we can get a tally of how each club is doing against each other.
