    2020 Logs Due January 5th, 2021

    The 2020 DX Marathon ends December 31st, so please review your log and check for errors. The DX Marathon website <www.dxmarathon.com> has all the information on how to submit your 2020 log and contains many helpful hints on how to improve your score. The 2020 submission deadline is January 5, 2021.

    The CQ DX Marathon is designed to promote DXing activity throughout the year rather than only on contest weekends and during DXpeditions. Because activity is not concentrated in specific time periods, credit is given for contacts on all ham bands, including those not normally used for contesting (e.g., 60, 30, 17, and 12 meters).

    Scoring is simple: You score one point the first time you work a new country and / or a new zone during the course of the year. Add the points up at the end of the year for your total score. There are no multipliers.

    Here are the complete rules:

    Activity period: The CQ DX Marathon is a yearlong activity, beginning at 0000 UTC January 1st and ending at 2359 UTC December 31st. Each year’s event is separate.
