2009 CQ DX Marathon - important information

John, K9EL, Program Manager for the CQ DX Marathon, reports: "Submissions for the 2009 edition of CQ Magazine's DX Marathon will be accepted until January 31, 2010.

"All participants are urged to review their scoresheets carefully as many submissions already received have zone errors, especially with regards to Zone 2. Please also watch submissions for Zones 3,4,5 as the prefix for U.S. stations is not necessarily an indication of the actual station's location. Please check the zone carefully for any Antarctica QSOs as well.

"The DX Marathon website (www.dxmarathon.com) provides details on countries and zones, including a special page just for Zone 2 stations. If errors are discovered, revised scoresheets may be submitted until January 31st.

"The callsigns of submitted logs will be posted on the DX Marathon web site and updated on a regular basis until January 31st. High claimed scores will be posted after January 31st."
