RASA DX Contest 2025

This year the format will be as simple as it gets. This benefits contestants and the organiser.

 The objective of this contest is to encourage greater participation and activity on the MF, HF and 6 metre bands. The contest is deliberately designed as a long form event, as many amateurs are unavailable for the more traditional contests held on weekends. It also provides the opportunity for those who like to operate in a more relaxed fashion to still take part in a national contest. This also allows amateurs the opportunity to use their 2×1 Contest Callsigns, a great way to attract the interest of international stations.
