2024 CDXC DX Marathon Challenge

Participation in the 2024 CDXC Marathon was up compared to 2023 with 182 members taking part, of which 46 were overseas members, 2 Intermediate licensees and 2 Foundation licensees.

The year started with 2 great DXpeditions from TX5S and the 8R7X providing lots of activity on the bands and giving people the opportunity to work an ATNO or fill some slots. We also had the introduction of the new FT8 SuperFox mode which was used during the N5J, KH8 and CY9 DXPeditions  in August.

The GM4FAM Trophy for most DXCC worked using CW is awarded to Lars-Goran, SM6CUK. Although the highest score for the CW section was actually Dick, PA3FQA with 249 but with the 3 year rule he is unable to claim the trophy and likewise Chris, G3SJJ who came second with 242 DXCC. Lars-Goran was third with 241.

The G3NUG Trophy which is for most DXCC worked using SSB was won by Riccardo, IU1RLJ with 244 DXCCs. Second place goes to Andy, G3SVD with 230 and a very close third was And,y M0NKR also with 230, just 28 slots separating them.

The 3 year rule came into effect again for The President's Trophy which is for the most DXCCs working using MGM. The highest score was from Antilano, PY5EG with 269 DXCC but having won this section in 2022 the trophy goes to Norman, 5B4AIF who came second with 254 with third place going to Trevor, EI2GLB with 253.

The Intermediate section was won by Mark, 2E0FVN with 248 DXCC

The Foundation section was won by Richard, M3BGE with 233 DXCC

Congratulations to all of the trophy and certificate winners and to everyone else who took part.
