Monday, October 11th, 2010

The new 2010-2011 season between the four major DX clubs in the Pacific NW has started with the first of the ten contests (CQ WW DX RTTY) already completed.

The 2009-2010 race for the Challenge Trophy ended with the SDXA taking fourth out of the four clubs. Not bad for our 2nd year.

(scores rounded off to nearest 1000 points)

See PNW Challenge Trophy at right side for the latest rules as passed at the August, 2009 SDXA DX Convention by the four club presidents (and reaffirmed without change at the BC convention this year) and the INDIVIDUAL final scores from our members. Our high scorer for the year was George W6AEA.

Jim Smith VE7FO of the British Columbia DX Club has provided a look back at the Cup since its inception, with the various rule changes. At the end of his presentation, he supplies a graph showing the great increase in participation last year. Here is the link to his work: VE7FO LINK
