Clubs
Contest und DX clubs throughout the world provide a solid foundation to learn contesting, propagation, building, and operating skills. By belonging to a radio club you have front-row seat to sources of information on amateur radio subjects. Many clubs have members take part on DXpeditions for a contest. These travelers help their club's scores and provide more fun for everyone. The top six clubs in the world racked up 2.16 billion points coming from 1263 entrants! For 2011, the world's top club score was the Yankee Clipper Contest Club with nearly half a billion points. Second place in the world went to perennial powerhouse the Bavarian Contest Club.
