DX Ladder

Welcome to the Dominion DX Group DX Ladder Competition. This a friendly competition among club members to see who works the most new band countries per year. In 2025 the previous Super Ladder was replaced with the DX Challenge competition. This competition provides one point for each DX entity contacted regardless of band or mode. The DX Challenge will reset each calendar year. The DX Challenge allows all members to participate even if they have years of operation (and band-countries) under their belts. Results for the DX Ladder and the DX Challenge competitions are presented during our club meetings and will be uploaded below. DDXG President Tom Mundy, N3GTG, is also our competition chair.
