This year’s Japan International DX Contest on SSB will begin on Saturday, November 14 at 07:00 UTC and end on Sunday, November 15 at 13:00 UTC. The contest is open to amateur radio operators worldwide. Contacts may be made on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10-meter bands.

The exchange depends on the station’s country: operators in Japan send an RST report and prefecture number, while all other participants send an RST report and CQ zone number. For stations outside Japan, contacts with Japanese stations are an important objective because they provide multipliers. The organizer accepts logs until December 15 at 13:00 UTC. Category and scoring details are specified in the JIDX rules.
