FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The ARRL DXCC Desk announces a new, enhanced DXCC Card Checking program, which was approved by the ARRL Board of Directors at their January 2000 board meeting in Memphis. This new program will allow DXCC members to have their cards checked by local card checkers without the necessity of mailing cards to ARRL Headquarters.
Under the new program, DXCC Card Checkers will be able to check all awards except 160 meter DXCC, and all QSLs from any current DXCC Entity. This will apply to both new awards and endorsements. QSOs made up to ten years prior to the current year will be eligible for checking in the field, while older cards and Deleted Entities may still be sent to ARRL HQ.
The current DXCC Field Checking program will end on March 31, 2000, with the new program beginning on April 1, 2000. Reappointment of DXCC Card Checkers under new criteria will be necessary. Nominations may be made by Section Managers and ARRL affiliated DX Specialty Clubs of at least 25 members and whose primary interest is DX.
