DX Marathon Update – January 2013

 

The 2012 DX Marathon ended at 0000 January 1, 2013 and the 2013 Marathon began immediately!   Yes, everyone's country and zone count reset to Zero and the race for the most countries and CQ zones for 2013 is underway.  

 

Everyone can participate in the Marathon – details and complete rules are available at www.dxmarathon.com.   

 

The deadline for submission of 2012 logs is January 31, 2013.   We know an earlier date was published, so the date was extended to avoid any confusion.   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, see the website for links to tools that simplify the submission process.   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 john at dxmarathon.com.

 

Once your submission has been computer validated for all required information and proper formatting, your callsign will be listed on the received logs page on the DX Marathon website.

 

High claimed scores will be published in February and the complete results of the 2012 Marathon will be in the June 2013 issue of CQ Magazine.
