World Contest

This truly global event is the definitive test of a DXer’s capabilities.  Not only will it be viewed as the penultimate of DX challenges by contesters in general, but the rewards on offer, which include a magnificent President Jackson II transceiver and memberships with the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society, rank above all others available in the DX Community.
