2009 CQ DX MARATHON ---> Submissions for the 2009 edition of CQ Magazine's
DX Marathon will be accepted until 31 January. 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 and 5, as the prefix for US 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 31 January. The callsigns of submitted
logs will be posted on the DX Marathon web site and updated on a regular
basis until 31 January. High claimed scores will be posted after that
