9L-TROPHY

9L8MD/9L9L TROPHY – SIERRA LEONE DXpedition 2025
Did you have fun last year with the X-Trophy, the contest between DX’er who did the most QSO with our expedition?

It would seem so: the competition has been close, with the spasmodic hunt for the last XT2MD’s slot, making the frequency very hot…
This year, on the occasion of the imminent expedition to Sierra Leone, the Mediterraneo DX Club not only proposes the contest with numerous prizes, but raises the level of the competition with a further challenge to DX’ers from all over the world: the counting for the ranking of 9L8MD’s slots won will be added to those obtained by connecting the contemporary IOTA expedition 9L9L, whose precarious operating conditions will make the hunt particularly challenging.
The 9L8MD/9L9L Trophy will reward the operators who achieve the greatest overall number of single QSOs with the two expeditions.
There are prizes for the world’s top places, recognitions for the best operators on each continent and, in some cases, for single countries, even by mode.
As usual, you can follow the progress of the ranking via the Leaders Boards of the respective online logs, although, for technical reasons, the definitive ranking with the sum of the overall connected slots of the two expeditions will be published only at the end of the operations. AN OFFICIAL “REAL TIME” RANKING FOR THE 9L8MD/9L9L TROPHY WILL THEREFORE NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE END OF THE OPERATIONS.

Another novelty 2025: a special prize will be awarded to the first YL (or XYL) classified.
Interested colleagues must, at the end of the expeditions, send an email to mdxc@mdxc.org to report their participation as (X)YL.

SPONSOR A PRICE
