2021 DX Ultra Marathon: one week to go!
With only seven days left before the start of the competition, we are
delighted to announce that as many as 423 participants have pre-registered
for the event. We believe this is almost extraordinary, especially if
compared with participation levels in much more established similar
initiatives. We also understand that there is considerable buzz about the
Marathon in DXing and contesting circles, and we think it is not
unreasonable to think we will have more than 500 participants once the
event gets going.
Jeff N1SNB appointed as Marathon Manager
We are also delighted to announced that Jeff Demer N1SNB has volunteered
for the role of Marathon Manager, and has been enthusiastically appointed.
Jeff is a well known DXer, contester and DXpeditioner - his experience and
enthusiasm for our initiative will provide an additional boost to an event
which already looks as the "next big thing" in HF DXing.
