THE NEW ARRL ONLINE DXCC APPLICATION PROCESS

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

My latest use of the new online application process produced the following results:

10/22 Monday: Date the envelope with my printed list of contacts was received at ARRL HQ – sent in by the local card checker
10/31 Wednesday: Date the application was processed by HQ
11/1 Thursday: Date I discovered the cards were accepted at HQ and results posted on my LOTW matrix (I checked for it every day – hihi)
11/3 Saturday: Date I received the printed DXCC Award Credit Slip with costs and results in the mail

That sure beats the old way of waiting months!! This is the only way that you can now submit cards to a local card checker or HQ; it required entering the card information into a computer database form (on the ARRL website) which is saved for your future use when you log out. I personally log each card on the form as I receive them until I make the decision to make an official card submittal through one of the three local card checkers. Here is the link to the ONLINE FORM. Try it! You will be amazed.
