INVITATION TO THE 2020 SP DX CONTEST

We would like to invite you to participate in the SP DX Contest this weekend (April 4-5, 2020) from 1500 UTC Saturday until 1459 UTC Sunday. This is biggest operating event of the year in Poland with typically over 1000 SP stations on the air on both CW and SSB.  For some, it is a competitive event, for others it is a chance to make a QSO with old friends. And for others yet, it is their only contest experience of the year and an opportunity to be seen and heard and to have fun.

 Your participation is very important to us for the continued success of this contest. This contest has a long history, with the first contest held in 1933. We expect a large turnout of SP stations this year. The success of this contest depends on the participation of DX stations like you, whether you are a veteran contester or just enjoy making casual contacts and giving SP stations an opportunity to work DX. It does not matter how much time you can spend and how many QSO’s you can make, we would like to see you in our logs!

We have put a big effort into creating a very interesting and unique Web site – https://spdxcontest.pzk.org.pl  After the contest, you can upload your log on the Web or send it via e-mail. All submitted entries will be immediately visible our Web page. We have adopted an open log policy, so after the results are published, all logs will be available for viewing. We also provide interesting statistics on your log and all other logs in the contest.  You can see these by looking at the 2018 and 2019 contest results. Final results will be available by June 30. At that time, certificates of participation for everyone and certificates for top scoring stations by category, country and continent can be downloaded for printing. We also have a long list of plaques which have been sponsored by individuals and groups which you can see on the Web page. Finally, you can qualify for various levels of the POLSKA Award for working the 16 provinces (województwa) of Poland.

We hope we have made this contest interesting and exciting for you and we look forward to seeing you in the contest!
