ARI International DX Contest 2025
DX Results

Dear Contesters,
it is a great pleasure to present you the DX Results of the ARI International DX Contest 2025.
The year 2025 has been characterised by a decrease of participation both DX and Italian. Overall 1448 logs have been received (compared to the 1642 of last year), 339 Italians and 1109 DX.
Unfortunately, the conditions were not so good this year. Propagation between Italy and DX were almost non-existent and also between Italy and Europe was fairly poor. Despite the poor condition two World record have been set this year!
