SP DX Contest 2011

Thanks for participation in the SP DX Contest 2011, in our single-country event, which still gathers a lot of interest thanks to you: contesters from all over the world.

The SP DX Contest of 2011 was in many ways exceptional. First, anyone who was on the air during the first weekend of April 2011 could experience it - the solar activity was high and the propagation on HF bands was favourable after a long, dry period. Secondly, the number of submitted logs passed the 2000 mark for the first time in the history of SP DX Contest. The history of our competition is long, as the first event took place in 1933.

Thirdly, even though it is hard to compare figures in Amateur Radio contests in general, many new scores were added to the all-time-high chart, which you can find at the end of this booklet (or document).

The statistics and figures confirm that our contest is gaining in popularity. Some of the reasons are certainly such as: improving participation from Poland, better and faster work of the Contest Committee, increasing number of awards and our informative web site. The contest receives good support from the national organization PZK, and the SP DX Club.

The exact number of handled logs in year 2011 was 2037 from 78 different DXCC/WAE entities. The real number of stations active in the contest was greater, as many casual participants do not submit their logs.

Considering the number of licensees in Poland, the antenna restrictions imposed in recent years, the overall level of man-made electrical noise and other obstacles, the activity from Poland in SP DX Contest is enviably high. This, in turn, generates higher activity from other countries. We hope that this trend will continue.

The contest website includes many statistical information, all-time records and a searchable data base. Any comments, queries, corrections and questions can be forwarded to the Contest Committee at contest_questions@spdxcontest.info

Thank you for taking part in SP DX Contest 2011 and submitting your log. We give a big hand to the sponsors of contest trophies.

Finally, please accept our cordial invitation to join us in SP DX Contest 2012, which will take place on the first full weekend of April, viz. 7 - 8 April 2012.
