> Hi All

> A reminder that the 2002 Oceania DX contest is happening over the first
two weekends of October.
> This will be the 66th Oceania DX Contest - lets make it the biggest and
best yet!.
>
> PHONE Contest: 0800 UTC Saturday 5 October to 0800 UTC Sunday 6 October
> CW Contest: 0800 UTC Saturday 12 October to 0800 UTC Sunday 13 October
>
> The rules are similar to last year except that Single-Op Single Band logs
are required to record ALL
> contacts made by the station, both on the band chosen for the entry and on
any other bands.
> Furthermore, we are looking for as many logs as possible to be emailed in
electronic Cabrillo
> format - to help the Committee process the logs and get the results out
more quickly.
>
> There are 7 new plaques/trophies available to the winners in various entry
categories. We will
> also award certificates to the 3 top scoring stations in the Non-Oceania
Single Operator All
> Band category.
>
> The full rules are available from
http://www.nzart.org.nz/nzart/update/contests/Oceania or,
> alternatively, forward a request to [email protected] for a copy of the
rules to be sent to your

> The contest is supported by most of the popular contest logging packages
including CT, Writelog, TR
> Log, and SD Logger. See
http://www.nzart.org.nz/nzart/Update/Contests/Oceania/software.htm for more
> information about the compatibility of the various software packages.

> We are working hard to promote a good turn out from Oceania stations. You
can expect to find some of
> the rarer Oceania prefixes - e.g.,

> V63SC, Micronesia, Op JM1LBO, PH, 15m and 10m
> 3D2/W7DRA, Fiji, PH and CW

contests!
