The 2022 SP DX Contest is cancelled – April 2-3, 2022
After careful deliberation, the SP DX Contest Committee, together with Polish Amateur Radio Union (PZK) and the SP DX Club, has decided to cancel the 2022 SP DX Contest. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Poland has accepted nearly 2 million refugees to date, as a direct result of Russian aggression toward our neighbor. This is an unprecedented event in Europe and has resulted in the greatest migration crisis in Europe since World War II. Polish people are deeply engaged in all forms of humanitarian assistance. Polish radio hams are giving shelter to Ukrainian refugees in their homes and offering their help and services in every way possible. Under these extraordinary circumstances, we felt it was most appropriate to cancel the SP DX Contest this year.

We look forward to your participation in the 2023 SP DX Contest on April 1-2, 2023.

I think, that in the moment when politic came to this hobby, all,competitions are DEAD !! Very sad.
SP5ITI was a member of the PZK authorities but resigned in tragic style. He just did not like democracy! A hypocrite.
We canceled the competition in solidarity with our Ukrainian neighbors, whom we help. And this is the only right decision under the circumstances. And being a citizen of the world is a certain art. You have to grow up to it!
That would be enough to ban russian and bielorussian statuons from logs – similarly like RSGB did. The sad fact is that the above decision was not taken in due procedure by legitimate acting Presidium of PZK, additionally the voices which disagreed were eliminated in non democratic way. Very sad for the while Polish ham community.
Całym sercem popieram. Nie może być, że stacje agresora startują. A stacje napadniętego Ukrainy nie mogą.
Jest to nasze hobby, ale zasady obowiązują.
I think it would be regrettable to confuse the two: contest and conflict..
As long as our Ukrainian friends are banned from the bands all international contests should be cancelled.
Good decision PZK and SPDXC and right approach to the problem. The muppets from CQ magazine and RSGB can learn a lot from you.
