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.<\/p>\n

CONVENTION LOCATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the conventions that awarded the Challenge Cup Trophy. The SDXA established their first convention in the series in 2009, followed by 2013, and in 2017 they combined resources with the IDXA based in Lewiston, ID to put on the latest event.<\/p>\n

How many of these convention have you attended? These are the leading DX, contesting, and advanced amateur radio conventions held close to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
