LZ DX Contest

The LZ DX Contest, organized by the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs, is an annual event held on the weekend before the last full weekend of November, running from Saturday at 12:00 UTC until Sunday at 11:59 UTC. We participate on 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m using both CW and SSB modes. The primary goal is to contact as many stations as possible, with a special emphasis on working Bulgarian stations (LZ) and different ITU zones and DXCC countries across all bands. We achieve this by making contacts and exchanging basic signal reports along with either an ITU zone (for non-LZ stations) or a two-letter district abbreviation (for LZ stations). We can work the same station once on CW and once on SSB on each band. For first-time participants, we recommend focusing on making consistent contacts and enjoying the international exchange. Always consult the official rules for exact categories, exchange details, and scoring specifics.
