The ADXG Araucaria Dx Group, as announced before, is proud to inform that our WORLD WIDE IRON HAM CONTEST will launch the first edition next full weekend of December ( Dec 28th 29th)

The WORLD WIDE IRON HAM CONTEST is a unique world-wide contest intended to promote the multi-mode skill of the ham contest community in one single 24-hour period competition. The GADX Araucaria Dx Group together with the majority of the Brazilian Contest and DX Clubs (list attached), based upon the success of the IRON MAN and some other multi-sports competitions, are sponsoring a different contest alternative where the competitors must use several alternatives to test their skills in different ham radio modes on all bands around the clock for 24 hours.

Some unique or important aspects of the contest.

* Unique three modes on a single 24 hours contest
* Submission of the logs in Cabrillo format 72 hours – for this first edition we will consider logs received after one week of the contest
* Results in 60 days
* Special prize to the winners SOAB and M2AB – 4 days free accommodation in any Brazilian City with a Contest Station combined with total free contest participation.
* Special recognition to best mode period score SOAB and M2
* Best hour QSOs rate for each mode period (CW,PHONE & RTTY) for
SOAB M2

So if you are fan of contest and never exercise the three modes on one single competition and is willing to spend some time in Brazil combining pleasure with ham radio, be ready for our WORLD WIDE IRON HAM CONTEST next December 28th Saturday 12:00 GMT until December 29th Sunday 11:59 GMT.
