[DX-NEWS] DX Marathon Update-21Dec2007

2007-12-20 Thread John, K9EL 
 

CQ Magazine's 2007 DX Marathon will soon come to a close.  Since St
Barthelemy, FJ, was just added to the DXCC list, a new version of the DX
Marathon scoresheet (V6) is now available on the DX Marathon website.
However, since many participants will have already completed their sheets,
we will accept the older version with FJ contact information submitted
separately in an email.   The official DX Marathon website is
www.dxmarathon.com .  This years contest ends December 31, 2007 at 2359Z.

[DX-NEWS] 2009 CQ DX Marathon - Important Information!

2010-01-10 Thread John, K9EL 
 
Submissions for the 2009 edition of CQ Magazine's DX Marathon will be
accepted until January 31, 2010.   All participants are urged to review
their scoresheets carefully as many submissions already received have zone
errors, especially with regards to Zone 2.  Please also watch submissions
for Zones 3,4,5 as the prefix for US stations is not necessarily an
indication of the actual station's location.  Please check the zone
carefully for any Antarctica QSOs as well. 

The DX Marathon website (www.dxmarathon.com) provides details on countries
and zones, including a special page just for Zone 2 stations.   If errors
are discovered, revised scoresheets may be submitted until January 31st.

The callsigns of submitted logs will be posted on the DX Marathon web site
and updated on a regular basis until January 31st.  High claimed scores will
be posted after January 31st.

DX Marathon Update, September 2010  - Just a few months left to build your
country count for the 2010 DX Marathon sponsored by CQ Magazine.   In
addition to the two plaques for the winner in each category, attractive
certificates are awarded for the top score per country, top score per single
mode submission, top score per single band submission and top low power (10
watts or less) score.Certificate winners and their scores for the 2006
through 2009 Marathons are listed on the DX Marathon website (
www.dxmarathon.com   ).The DX Marathon
website now includes helpful hints to avoid common errors and also includes
a list of known pirate stations that will not likely count for the 2010
Marathon.   In addition, the DX Marathon scoresheet is now available as a
template on Google Docs which eliminates any need to have Excel or
equivalent on your computer.  Updates for the DX Marathon due to the
upcoming changes in the Netherlands Antilles will be announced by CQ

DX Marathon Update, October 2010 - As recently announced by CQ Magazine,
Competitors in the 2010 CQ DX Marathon will have a unique "double-dip"
opportunity in working the islands of the Netherlands Antilles for Marathon
points. Those who worked any of the islands before 10/10/10, get credit for
either the Windward or Leeward Islands, as appropriate. Hams who work them
again on or after 10/10/10 will get additional credit for the new entities,
providing a maximum of six country credits for working the islands in 2010.
Version 2010.2 of the DX Marathon scoresheet that incorporates the four new
PJ countries is now available on the DX Marathon website: www.dxmarathon.com
  Instructions to convert version to 2010.1 to
the new 2010.2 are available on the website.   However, participants can
also send their existing scoresheet to  
sco...@dxmarathon.com and we will convert it and send it back to you.

Congratulations to the team which helped to reintroduce 
Amateur Radio to Kosovo, and welcome back to the 
airwaves to the returning Hams.
As of this time Z6ØK, and/or any other Z6 station, will not 
count for any entity for DXCC awards purposes as they do 
not qualify under the DXCC rules. Any future change in 
Kosovo's DXCC status will be announced by ARRL.

Everyone can participate in the Marathon - details and complete rules are
available at www.dxmarathon.com <http://www.dxmarathon.com/> .   

 

The deadline for submission of 2012 logs is January 31, 2013.   We know an

Next year's deadline will be January 10, 2014.

 

To submit your score, use the latest Marathon Score Sheet (2012.5) that can
be downloaded from the DX Marathon website.  If you use computer logging,

Please note if you are using the ADIF to DX Marathon tool created by Jim,
AD1C, make sure you are using the latest version.   The tool changes each
year in response to DX Marathon changes.

 

Double-check your submission for errors, making sure all information is
filled out at the top of the form, BAND data was used instead of frequencies
and MODE is either CW, Phone or Digital.  SSB is also accepted.  If you are
entering in Formula Class, be sure to include a detailed description of your
antenna.  And don't forget to add your comments on the Marathon at the end
of the form.

 

The Marathon offers special awards for single mode and single band
submissions.  Simply enter only QSO's for a particular band or mode and the
computer will classify your submission accordingly.

 

The DX Marathon website offers additional information on pirates and other
helpful hints.   If you have questions, feel free to contact me at
j...@dxmarathon.com.

 

Once your submission has been computer validated for all required
information and proper formatting, your callsign will be listed on the

[DX-NEWS] FS/K9EL

2005-01-23 Thread John, K9EL 




Hi!
 
I plan to operate FS/K9EL from 16-26 
February 2005.   I will be on holiday with my family, but they are 
very understanding of my need to be on the radio!   I will be active 
during the ARRL DX CW Contest to hand out multipliers, but not a serious 
entry.  I will be using a vertical for 10/12/15/17/20 meters and will 
string some wires for 30/40 and if possible 80 as well.  160m operation 
very unlikely.  100w, no amplifier.  No PSK or RTTY. QSL 
home call.  Skeds are OK via email - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[DX-NEWS] FS/K9EL Activity

2005-11-06 Thread John, K9EL 



For publication in your DX bulletins if you 
choose!
 
 
I will be operating as FS/K9EL from November 30 through 
December 7.   This is a family vacation, so my operating activities 
will be balanced with beach time.   I will be using an FT100 barefoot 
and vertical antennas for 10 through 80 meters.  No PSK or 
RTTY.   160m operation unlikely.  QSL to home call.   
Skeds are OK - see QRZ.COM for email address.   All QSLs 
received to date, including bureau cards, from my last FS operation have been 
answered.

[DX-NEWS] CQ DX Marathon Web Site

2006-03-21 Thread John, K9EL 




The CQ Magazine DX Marathon is a 
cross between an award and a contest. It runs for a full year at a time, with 
competitors trying to contact as many countries and CQ zones as possible within 
the year. There are no carryovers from year to year, however, and everyone 
starts fresh each New Year's Day.
The year-long DXing competition began on January 1.
A new Web site has been established and dedicated to the DX Marathon - www.dxmarathon.com
Please check it out and let us know what you would like to see on the web 
site. We will publish your stories and your accomplishments. Send us your score 
to date and we publish it. You will also find the complete CQ Countries list in 
various formats.
Good luck!
