THE ARRL DXCC CHALLENGE AWARD

Friday, March 28th, 2014

This award is for working and confirming at least 1000 band-countries in the bands from 160 to 6 meters. You can receive a certificate or a plaque for your effort (you pay, of course). It is endorsed in 500 contact increments with a medallion such as shown below (click on the pictures to enlarge them). Steve K7AWB just received this medallion after a tremendous effort to catch up with a few of the other SDXA members who are way ahead of him such as Al W7AL (2092), Wayne WA1PMA (1891), and Mark W7MEM (1547). Incidentally, this DXCC Challenge Award has no relationship to the PNW Challenge Cup – the contest between the leading PNW DX clubs such as ours.
