The CQ DX-Marathon

 The DX Marathon is the perfect answer for the DX-er who needs that extra incentive to get on the air every day! Simply work as many countries and CQ Zones as you can in each calendar year, regardless of the band or mode. Each country and zone counts only once, so you can concentrate on working new ones rather than working the same ones again and again on multiple bands or modes.


CQ DX MarathonBriefly, the CQ DX Marathon is an year-long activity, starting at 0000 UT on 1st January and ending at 2359 UT on December 31st. The Marathon is for single operator only. One point for each country worked, and one point for each CQ Zone worked. There are no multipliers. QSLs are not needed.

Newsflash

Space shuttle Atlantis lifted off from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 2:28 p.m. EST Monday, beginning STS-129, the 31st shuttle flight to the International Space Station.

Expedition 21 Commander Frank De Winne, ON1DWN and Flight Engineers Robert Thirsk, VA3CSA, Roman Romanenko, Nicole Stott, KE5GJN, Maxim Suraev and Jeffrey Williams, KD5TVQ, are making final preparations for Atlantis’s arrival, set for Wednesday.

The STS-129 mission will focus on storing spare hardware on the exterior of the station. The 11-day flight will include three spacewalks and the installation of two platforms to the station’s truss, or backbone. The platforms will hold spare parts to sustain station operations after the shuttles are retired. This equipment is large and can only be transported using the unique capability of the shuttle.
