иконография<\/a><\/font>Картини<\/a><\/font>On 07\/09\/11 I reached a major milestone in my ham radio career.\u00a0 On that day I received word that my latest submission to the ARRL DXCC<\/a> program had been accepted.\u00a0 This application was my final step in receiving 5-Band DXCC<\/strong> (5BDXCC) which means I have contacted, and confirmed via QSL <\/a>cards,\u00a0 100 or more countries on five different amateur radio frequency bands.<\/p>\n

This is the culmination of an effort I started over 30 years ago and something I am very proud of.\u00a0 As of the above date I have the following totals: 103 countries on 80 meters, 109 on 40m, 167 on 20m, 164 on 15m and 118 on 10m.\u00a0 Here is the 5BDXCC certificate I received today.<\/p>\n

In addition to the 5BDXCC I also received endorsements on my CW (Morse code) and Mixed (CW+Voice) DXCC totals which brings me to 325 and 329 countries respectively.\u00a0 Currently the DXCC program recognizes 341 ‘countries’ and when I have worked all but 9 of them I will be eligible for the DXCC Honor Roll<\/strong> !<\/p>\n

In addition to the certificate shown above, the ARRL offers an optional plaque for this award.\u00a0 I ordered one and it arrived a couple of days ago.\u00a0 It really looks great.<\/p>\n
