• Contest: Oceania DX Contest (PHONE Contest)

Begins: 2016-10-01 08:00:00 UTC

1. SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE 2016 CONTEST

The deadline for submitting logs is 31 October 2016.

The rules for the NEW ZEALAND Club Competition Plaque have been updated to allow participating members from a club to reside anywhere in New Zealand –they no longer need to be within an area of a circle with a maximum diameter of 200km.

Only one entry may be submitted by each operator or team of operators(Rule 6).

All email logs are processed by an email robot. The robot sends an automated email acknowledgement indicating either acceptance or rejection of the log. If you do not receive this acknowledgment, or are encountering difficulty in having the log accepted, then please contact the Contest Committee at info@oceaniadxcontest.com

Electronic logs are to be in Cabrillo format which is now generated by all popular contest logging software programs. Alternatively entrants can use the forms at http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/to manually create and submit a Cabrillo file.

Portable prefixes can be inserted either in front of or behind the homecall sign, e.g., W1XXX operating in ZL could sign as ZL/W1XXXor W1XXX/ZL.

If the station worked does not provide a serial number for the Oceania DX Contest, then log the received number as 001. See Rule 8. This provision allows credit for contacts with stations that are not in the contest.

A reminder that Single-Operator Single Band logs must record ALL contacts made by the station -both on the band chosen for the entry and on any other bands.

Non-Oceania receiving (SWL) stations to copy as many contest stations as possible inside the Oceania region.
