The annual TOP 10 DX OF THE YEAR contest has now been evaluated for 2025. István Biliczky writes to me on behalf of the organiser: Congratulations to Christoph Ratzer (Austria) who not only won the contest, but also set a new record in the “Total score” and the “Best DX” category. Thank you very much, the contest is always a good excursion into the shortwave bands, and despite the smaller number of stations, it is a challenge to receive the most distant stations with low transmission power. Thanks also to all participants in the event. And as always: “see you in the next contest”.

The new Shortwave Bulletin is available for free download.

Thomas Nilsson writes:

“With this issue, we have produced a total of 2,100 issues since we began in 1961. In the 1960s, there were many rare stations to hunt, especially in the tropical bands.”

Congratulations on this achievement. It is special to still have such a good magazine in 2026, a great and always high-quality summary of shortwave activity!

Now my award for winning the Top 10 DX of the Year 2024 Contest has arrived. Many thanks to Biliczky István and the Top DX Radioclub for this great shortwave radio contest, which I highly recommend every BC-DXer to participate in December 2025.

December is Top10DX Contest Month again. I would like to invite all DXers to take part. To participate, you have to find 10 stations from the shortwave band, receive them verifiably, enter them in the contest log and then send them to the organizer Biliczky István from TopDX Radioclub at the end of December – if possible with audio files.
