Starting January 1 of each year, 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 on multiple bands and modes. Awards are given for the top overall scores in two classes plus the top scores in 3 modes and 10 bands plus low power/small antennas. Need more information? Contact us at: info@dxmarathon.com

IMPORTANT NOTE: IF YOU PREVIOUSLY DOWNLOADED THE 2012 FORM, PLEASE DO NOT USE IT. ONLY VERSION 2012.3 IS CURRENTLY VALID. VERSION 2012.3 INCLUDES THE NEW PREFIX FOR REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN, Z8 AND THE FORM NOW REQUIRES BAND INFO (replacing Frequency). THE DX MARATHON TOOLS DEVELOPED BY DXLAB AND AD1C WILL ONLY WORK WITH VERSION 2012.3.
Some users have reported that after entry of callsigns, the score does not automatically compute. We are working on a solution.
