About

Contest Objective: To encourage W/VE stations to expand their knowledge of DX propagation on the HF and MF bands, improve operating skills, and improve station capability by creating a competition in which DX stations may only contact W/VE stations. One contest period is CW-only and one is Phone-only.  Use only the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10-meter bands.

W/VE amateurs: Work as many DX stations in as many DXCC entities as possible.

DX stations: Work as many W/VE stations in as many of the 48 contiguous states and provinces as possible.

Dates:

CW: Third full weekend in February (February 18-19, 2023).

Phone: First full weekend in March (March 4-5, 2023).

Contest Period: Begins 0000 UTC Saturday and runs through 2359 UTC Sunday.

Contest rules are now maintained as a single downloadable document.

Exchange:

W/VE stations send a signal report and their state or province. (See the ARRL Contest Multipliers List for a list of abbreviations.) DX stations send a signal report and power as a number or abbreviation.


Multioperator Accommodations Extended for 2023:

ARRL has extended the temporary accommodations for multi-operator stations competing in the 2023 International ARRL DX Contest (CW and phone). Individual team members may operate from their home stations in conjunction with the multi-op station. The home stations must be within a radius of 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the multihop station and must be within the same DXCC entity, US State, or Canadian province.  For more information, visit the link below.
