2009 DXCC Yearbook - final reminder

Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL Awards Branch Manager, reports: "Just a last-minute final reminder that if you have not made your 2009 submission, you must make a submission in order to appear in the next yearbook. The submission must be postmarked on or by December 31, 2009.

If you are current on the DXCC Honor Roll (minimum of 329 'current' DXCC entities) you will automatically be listed and you DO NOT need to make a submission. However, if you are not current on the Honor Roll you must make a submission in order to be listed.

Also, in order for an award to appear in the Annual List, first the award must be 'active' (Meaning you must have a certificate). Just qualifying for an award does not mean it will appear. Also, for an active award to appear your total on that category MUST increase by at least one point. (eg: If
you had 300 in 2008 for 10 Meters and in 2009 your number remaining at 300, the 10 meter listing will not appear in the Annual List. But, if your number increased to, at least 301, then your active award will appear.

Also, only ARRL members (during the 2009 calendar year) receive the free copy. (The cost of the yearbook is to be determined soon).

The 2009 DXCC Yearbook will now be handled as an official ARRL publication that will no longer be handled by the DXCC Branch directly.

Orders for the yearbook will now be available only via the ARRL catalog. (This will not affect those who qualify for the free copy).
