Once again many of the members of the DDXG club participated in friendly competition in the form of two ladder competitions. Our “original” ladder is a competition to add all-time new band-countries. In 2023 a second competition, the “super” ladder was added tracking new band-countries contacted in the current year. While the super ladder enables hams who have already achieved contact with many DX entities to start fresh with a clean slate each year.
During the January meeting Tom, DDXG President and Ladder Chair, presented to 2024 winners with a plaque honoring their achievement.
Original Ladder
The original ladder provides a great way for new or returning hams to receive credit for their new contacts. This year Adam Humphrey, KQ4OTH, took the top honor. Congratulations Adam.
Super Ladder
The Super Ladder allows accomplished hams with lots of DX contacts to start fresh in the new year with a goal of contacting as many band-countries as possible. 2023’s original ladder winner, Lauren, W4LEW, bested the field to earn the top spot in the 2024 Super Ladder competition. Congratulations Lauren!
The numbers show there was no lack of effort by many of the DDXG members. We look forward to another year of friendly club competition in 2025!
