I'm sending in for the regular DXCC and a few things are unclear
to me: 1) Would a CY9AA (St. Paul Island) from 1997 on 160 meters count? Thought I read somewhere that 160 meters doesn't count on the regular DXCC. 2) I have a 3E1DX from Panama. But on the list it doesn't have 3E1 for Panama listed. Only HO-HP#* is listed for Panama. It was a CQWW contest in 1997. Am I out of luck? 3) Have a 4N7DW from Yugoslavia from 1993. Once again this prefix isn't listed on the ARRL list for Yugo (YT prefix is) Out of luck?? 4) I have a Pitcairn Island VR6BB from 1993. VP6 is now listed as being Pircairn Island. VR is now Hong Kong. What gives with this one?? 5) I have a HA5-350 from Hungary from 1996. Not allowed? |

Please see URL: http://www.arrl.org/awards/#dxcc sez The premier operating award in all of Amateur Radio is the DX Century Club. The basic certificate (which can be obtained in several categories--Mixed modes, Phone, CW, RTTY, Satellite, 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 6 and 2 meters) is awarded for working and confirming at least 100 entities on the ARRL DXCC List. -------------------------------------------------- 2) I have a 3E1DX from Panama.

Many countries have a primary and a secondary prefix (the later often used for contests and special events). In general, the ARRL DXCC list has primary prefixes not secondary. - The complete prefix allocations can be found at URL: http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/itucalls.html Or http://ac6v.com/prefixes.htm There u will see that Panama prefixes are HOA-HPZ Panama (Republic of) (Also See H3, H8, H9, 3EA-3FZ) So it is a good Prefix and contact --------------------------------------------------------- 3) Have a 4N7DW from Yugoslavia from 1993.

VP6 is now listed as being Pircairn Island. VR is now Hong Kong. What gives with this one?? VR6 WAS Pitcairn - Now VR is China-- VP6 is the new Pitcairn Is Prefix Hong Kong was a British colony for many years --- but became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China on 1 July 1997. So they changed prefixes at about that time. Now VRA-VRZ China (People's Republic of) -Hong Kong and VP6=Pitcarin Pitcarin prefix got caught up in the change. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- 5) I have a HA5-350 from Hungary from 1996. Not allowed? Sounds like a SWL card -- submit it anyway -- the DX desk allow or disallow it. |

Hi Carter,
As long as the cards clearly list your call and a signal report as well as the details of the QSO, time date, band, mode, they should be acceptable for DXCC submission. Most folks submit 102 or so cards with the first submission, then if there is a problem with one card, they are still OK. As for the HA5-350 card, it sounds like an SWL report rather than an amateur call. (As above, does it have QSO details of your QSO with the call listed?) Since you'll probably be having a field checker look them over, he or she can tell you if it is legit card. Another question for the checker is whether the ten year old cards have to go into the ARRL DXCC desk (but ARRL Divisional Hamfests will have League reps who can check them). Good luck and good DX, Bill, W4WNT "carter" wrote in message ...
