2009 CQ DX MARATHON ---> Submissions for the 2009 edition of  CQ  Magazine's
DX Marathon will be accepted until 31 January. All  participants  are  urged
to review their scoresheets carefully as many submissions  already  received
have zone errors, especially with regards  to  Zone  2.  Please  also  watch
submissions for Zones 3, 4 and 5, as the  prefix  for  US  stations  is  not
necessarily an indication of the actual station's location.    Please  check
the zone carefully for any Antarctica QSOs as well. The DX Marathon  website
(www.dxmarathon.com) provides details on countries and  zones,  including  a
special page just for Zone 2 stations. If  errors  are  discovered,  revised
scoresheets may be submitted until 31 January. The  callsigns  of  submitted
logs will be posted on the DX Marathon web site and  updated  on  a  regular
basis until 31 January.  High claimed  scores  will  be  posted  after  that
date. [TNX K9EL]
