- Awards will be made for the most DXCC verified, and the most Open, CW, Phone and Digital slots Verified. (First place only will be awarded, but second and third are shown in the Leaderboard.)
- To qualify, QSO must be verified by Paper, eQSL or LOTW.
- All bands are included.
- The winners will be determined at the AGM the following year.
There is a new menu item in the Awards Section "DX Leaderboard". This shows the Top 30 contenders in each of the 5 award categories. As the AGM will soon be upon us, make sure your log upload is up to date.
Let the competition begin!
