DX Group

In order to get more activity in HF in the club, we set up a DX group to handle the coordination of any contest operations we may want to be involved with. The group operates the call sign VO1SDX in many popular contest and also operates the official VO1RAC call during the RAC Canada Day and Winter contests, when it's available

For any information on either of our contests or special event operations, e-mail either of the members listed below:

Paul J. Piercey vo1he @ rac.ca VO1HE DX Group Coordinator
Dan Goodwin vo2zz @ rac.caVO1MX Dx-pedition Guru
