W.I.A. 9 & 11 Band DXCC Awards

The W.I.A. officially releases its new special issue 9 & 11 Band DXCC Awards complete and invites submissions for these Certificates.

We the WIA have the Honour being �the first in the world� to offer a complete DXCC range of awards. Our awards have been developed to specially reward our present day DX Masters right here in Australia and catering for our next generation of �Master Dxers� and beyond 2020. Introducing the 9 & 11 Band DXCC program has taken the W.I.A. just over 6 months to develop, finance and to deliver these new exciting challenges to our membership. This completes our DXCC range of awards from Single Band to 3, 5, 9 and 11 Band DXCC. They will extend into a new Multiband Program that includes all 11 approved bands including VHF.

New administration rules have been established and are approved by the W.I.A. Board of Directors. The Australian DXCC �entity� bench marks were also reviewed for all multiband awards. The awards have been developed incorporating sponsored, financial and legal graphic support. These awards are not difficult to achieve, they will require many hours and years of dedication in DXing and Qsling.
