Simple DXCC Questions?
Locked
 
|
I have a few basic DXCC questions and hope someone on
the list could help me? If you have lived in multiple locations does that matter? If you have had multiple calls how does that work? How far back can you go for old QSL cards? Can I go back to the early 1970's as a Novice? Thanks for the help! 73's -- Norm K9NK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi, Norm!
First, here is the URL for the DXCC rules on the ARRL web site: http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html For DXCC, if your multiple locations are within the same DXCC entity, it doesn't matter. You can move from California to New York and you're in the same DXCC entity, so all your QSOs from the continental United States (the lower 48) count for one DXCC award. QSOs you make from Puerto Rico or Hawaii count toward a DXCC award from that DXCC entity. For example, I have DXCC from England (where I lived for 4 years) and a separate DXCC for the United States. However you can't combine QSOs made from California and Hawaii and Alaska into one DXCC award. If you used multiple calls, you just tell the DXCC desk in your application what your calls were. They have access to the historic callsign databases if there's any question. Some of my England DXCC QSOs were made as G0/AA6MC, some were made with my England call of G0MFO, they're all one DXCC. I just told them the dates and calls and sent the cards. The DXCC program goes back to about 1945. Your 1970's Novice QSOs definitely count for the "Mixed" award. However DXCC CW started in 1975, so CW contacts prior to that date won't count toward your CW DXCC. Some DXCC entities have changed over the years, so your card from East Germany or Czechoslovakia in the 1980's might count for a "deleted country" now. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Norm Klieman Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 7:51 AM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] Simple DXCC Questions?

Hi Norm
Living in multiple locations does not seem to be a problem, as long as they were all within the same DXCC entity, in our case, the continental US. I think you have a choice of what call you apply for your DXCC under. I worked mine as W0KMF when I lived in Iowa, but have N6WG now. When I finally get around to applying, I'll probably ask for the W0KMF call on the certificate. If they only want to grant to your current call, that's fine too. Reaching way back will probably cause you to have to send your cards to ARRL for checking. By now, some of the countries I have cards for no longer exist :-) Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norm Klieman" <[hidden email]> To: "Elecraft" <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 6:50 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Simple DXCC Questions? > I have a few basic DXCC questions and hope someone on > the list could help me? > > If you have lived in multiple locations does that > matter? > > If you have had multiple calls how does that work? > > How far back can you go for old QSL cards? > Can I go back to the early 1970's as a Novice? > > Thanks for the help! > > 73's -- Norm K9NK > > _______________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Post to: [hidden email] > You must be a subscriber to post to the list. > Subscriber Info (Addr.

The countries that no longer exist do not count for
DXCC. They will credit you, but count only current countries toward the official count, I think. I am not totally sure about for the initial 100, but I am certain about when you start working for the Honor Roll. I have been DXing for 52 years and I only have 7 deleted countries out of 316, so it is not too big of a deal.

Deleted countries -do- count for DXCC, assuming
one has them confirmed, of course. (:-)) In theory, a relative new-comer to DX'ing can never reach the same country count as the older participants because the older op's have countries credited that the new applicants can never work. 73!

The area where it is a competition is for Honor Roll
and only current countries count for that. New ops are on the same footing as the old ops, except for the accumulated DXCC credits. This may also be true for the challenge award. Like was previously stated, the rules are somewhat complex and one should read them periodically rather than rely on second hand information such as this. --- Ken Kopp <[hidden email]> wrote: > Deleted countries -do- count for DXCC, assuming > one has them confirmed, of course.

Accumulated DXCC credits is what I was making reference to.
This is my (only) interest in the award. This isn't "second hand information". I have the certificate on the wall and the credits in Newington. 73!

For "Deleted Countries" you get credit for them if you worked them
when they were valid countries. The DXCC list includes the valid dates for each deleted country. The credit applies to your basic count for the DXCC award and endorsements. Thus for example if you have 98 current countries and two deleted countries worked when they were valid that would qualify you for a DXCC award. Where "Deleted Countries" do not count is for the DXCC Honor Roll. To make the Honor Roll, at present you need at least 329 countries, and "Deleted Countries" are not counted. 73, Steve Kercel AA4AK At 11:34 AM 3/17/2008, WILLIS COOKE wrote: >The countries that no longer exist do not count for >DXCC.
