THE BASICS

Jay WA0WWW is our representative maintaining the SDXA’s scores and submitting them to the PNW group as they occur.

There is both the tally of the SDXA members between each other (SDXA awards a certificate at the its Annual Awards Banquet for the highest total SDXA member and any SDXA member who enters and submits for all ten contests) and then the tally of the six clubs between each other.

WHO?

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

THE RULES

The rules were reaffirmed at the 2010 British Columbia DX Club convention in August as is with no changes for the 2010-2011 competition. There have been no recent changes to the rules so they are as is for 2019-2020. There is talk about rules changes at the convention in Everett in August, 2019.

THE AWARDING OF THE TROPHY

A rotating trophy is awarded to the club that scores the highest in the combination of all the ten contests each contest year. It is presented at the annual PNW DX convention which rotates among the clubs.
