The ten-contesting event is between the leading Northwest DX and contesting clubs:

Spokane DX Association (SDXA)
Western Washington DX Club (WWDXC) – Seattle
Willamette Valley DX Club (WVDXC) – Portland
Orca DX and Contesting Club – Vancouver, BC, Canada
Idaho DX Association (IDXA) – Lewiston, ID.
British Columbia DX Club – Vancouver, BC, Canada

Each season, the accumulated contest points made by members are tallied to see which club makes the most points from its members over the ten contests. The contest season starts in September and ends in July.

The ten contests are (in order):

• CQ ww dx rtty in Sept
• CQ ww dx ssb in Oct
• CQ ww dx cw in Nov
• ARRL rtty roundup in Jan
• CQ wpx rtty in Feb
• ARRL DX CW in Feb
• ARRL DX SSB in March
• CQ WPX SSB in March
• CQ WPX CW in May
• IARU in July

Here a link to how the SDXA members did:

It looks like Mark K7HPT will get a certificate award at the December Awards Banquet for entering all ten contests during the year. And Mel N7GCO will receive one for his highest total score among the SDXA members.

How did SDXA do among the other clubs?

Disregard the year span heading on the US vs. Them LINK table. This table is for the most current season: 2017-2018.
