Hi, Norm! First, here is the URL for the DXCC rules on the ARRL web site:
http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html For DXCC, if your multiple locations are within the same DXCC entity, it doesn't matter. You can move from California to New York and you're in the same DXCC entity, so all your QSOs from the continental United States (the lower 48) count for one DXCC award. QSOs you make from Puerto Rico or Hawaii count toward a DXCC award from that DXCC entity. For example, I have DXCC from England (where I lived for 4 years) and a separate DXCC for the United States. However you can't combine QSOs made from California and Hawaii and Alaska into one DXCC award. If you used multiple calls, you just tell the DXCC desk in your application what your calls were. They have access to the historic callsign databases if there's any question. Some of my England DXCC QSOs were made as G0/AA6MC, some were made with my England call of G0MFO, they're all one DXCC. I just told them the dates and calls and sent the cards. The DXCC program goes back to about 1945. Your 1970's Novice QSOs definitely count for the "Mixed" award. However DXCC CW started in 1975, so CW contacts prior to that date won't count toward your CW DXCC. Some DXCC entities have changed over the years, so your card from East Germany or Czechoslovakia in the 1980's might count for a "deleted country" now. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norm Klieman Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 7:51 AM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] Simple DXCC Questions? I have a few basic DXCC questions and hope someone on the list could help me? If you have lived in multiple locations does that matter? If you have had multiple calls how does that work? How far back can you go for old QSL cards? Can I go back to the early 1970's as a Novice? Thanks for the help! 73's -- Norm K9NK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
