> We are pleased to invite you and the members of your RRDXA club 
> to take part in the 10th (the  Jubilee) annual Russian DX 
> Contest, which is to be held on March 15-16 2003.
>  
> It's  been  a  long  way  to  go  for  RDXC in the past 10 years. 
> We can not help but notice huge increase of the amount of 
> participating  stations, reaching the record level  of  1400 
> received  logs in 2002. Russian stations usually are very active 
> in  RDXC representing almost all of the Russian regions and many 
> RDA districts. 24-hour format seems to be a very suitable for 
> everyone and there is usually a high level of competition in each 
> category from all continents and the scores are growing every 
> year, for example N2NT made over 2000 QSO in 24 hours last year!
> The  logs  cross-checking process and all the calculations are 
> being made by using our original software;   starting  2000  
> every participant is getting so-called UBN files (errors list) 
> along with  the certificate.
>  
> We  have  an  official WEB site http://www.rdxc.org  where you 
> can find all of the RDXC-related information, as well as contest 
> rules in 8 languages, FAQ's,  1997-2002  contests results, some 
> articles, contest record  for each   country  and  Russian  
> region, announced operations, photogallery, etc.
>  
> The  contest  rules allow you to work any station anywhere in the 
> world so there's always a good chance to make  a  good  score. 
> Since 2003 any participant can claim for 'Russian District  
> Award'  on  the  basis  of  contest  log (no  QSL  needed), 
> http://www.rdaward.org.
>  
> Effective 2003 RDXC  we introduce new rules for CLUBS 
> competition. Now the  rules  are  based on CQ WW requirement, all 
> club stations must be located within 500 km diameter circle. 
> Check logs also will be counted for CLUBS competition.  So just 
> get on the air for a part time effort (if you can't make it full 
> time) and bring your points to your club!
>  
> In addition to great deal of different plaques there is also a 
> new Trophy for 2003 North America Club category for the top NA 
> club score, so now your club may show your  banner. In  any case 
> if your CLUB has more than 5 participants, you would have a 
> certificate and a contest booklet for your CLUB.
>  
> We hope that members of your RRDXA club will enjoy taking part in 
> 2003 Russian DX Contest.
