DXCC card checking at Dayton Hamvention

Want to have your QSL cards checked for DXCC?

Well, bring them to the 206 Dayton Hamvention. That's where you will find Bill Moore, NC1L, the ARRL DXCC Branch Manager.

Moore says that he and the DXCC staff, along with approved card checkers will be at Hamvention and on hand to check cards throughout the weekend. But says Moore, there are some simple guidelines that will help make processing go quick and easy.

Do not sort cards alphanumerically. Rather, cards must be pre-sorted first by band, then by mode. Also, there is a 120 card limit per applicant. Larger submissions may be checked as time is available, but only after all other applications are finished. And cards with more than one QSO should be placed together at the end of the application.

Lastly, you are required to prepare all paperwork ahead of time. Use the latest application form available at www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc and be sure to fill in all fields on the record sheet.

Then head off for Hamvention 2006 and have a great time.
