The number 13 is unlucky for some; particularly the cognitive gymnasts who like to test their wits in the world’s most mentally taxing DX quiz for Freebanders. Despite the offer of free Oceania Contest QSL cards for a correct answer, not to mention the kudos of solving what many people claimed was the “unsolvable”, the most recent quiz had DX sleuths scratching their heads when attempting to crack Question 13 which was, “If men and women were antennas, which one would be safer and why?”

Due to the fact a perfectly logical and scientifically acceptable reason exists for the correct answer to this question, number 13 will remain in the latest Bright Sparks DX Quiz.

Good luck!
