Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Loyd Van Horn at DX Central who shares the following announcement:
We are kicking off the 2022-23 DX season with the return of the MW Frequency Challenge! The MW Frequency Challenge officially started during the season premiere of our DX Central Live! livestream on YouTube on Friday, September 2022.
Our frequency range for this week’s challenge is 1160-1224 kHz!
A reminder of the rules for this season:
-
- Submitted loggings must be for receptions made between 0000 UTC Saturday, September 24, 2022 and 0200 UTC Saturday, October 1, 2022. Any station that transmits between 1160-1224 kHz will be accepted for the challenge.
- Submissions/loggings must be made with your own equipment, NO ONLINE SDRs (unless you own the online SDR). If you are logging receptions away from your home location, be sure to note that location on the submision form.
- Submissions must be entered on the Google Form using the link below. Logs posted through social media, DX club log submissions, email, etc. will not be accepted.
- Receptions can be for any station received within the frequency range. It does not need to be “new to you”, relogs are welcome as long as it occurred during the challenge period.
This week’s Google Form link is: https://forms.gle/EtKhNYc1qZhVmexh8
Good luck and best of DX!

This contest is skewed to favor people who live near the greatest density of stations in the selected frequency range. If you live in a rural area the density of stations is far less.
It would be a fairer contest if web SDRs were allowed. Then everyone has an equal chance at winning.
