FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DXCC Announces New 15 Meter Award

DXCC is pleased to announce the addition of a 15 meter single band DXCC award. Beginning June 1, 2000, DXCC printouts have been set to reflect credits on 15 meters. The start date for the new 15 meter DXCC award will be July 1, 2000. 15 Meter DXCC certificates will be dated but not numbered. Deleted entities count towards this award. Those who have an active 5 Band DXCC which was processed prior to DXCC computerization and do not have 100 entities in the computer (on 15 meters) will be allowed to submit enough credits on that band to bring the computerized record to the first 100 needed for this award with no per QSO fee. Simply include postage and the award fee. The award fee is $10. Please note your 5 Band DXCC award number and original issue date on the application form in the block specified.

If you do not know what credits you have on 15 meters, you should contact DXCC for an updated report, prior to submitting further credits. This will help both you and DXCC in that it will avoid duplicates and additional costs, since QSL costs over the limits noted in DXCC Rule #15 are $0.15 per QSO. If you have web access and can handle ADOBE (.pdf) files, contact DXCC at dxcc@arrl.org for a copy of your record. If you do not have web access, please send a note to DXCC along with $1.50 for postage or an SASE with $1.50 in postage. If you have not submitted since the later portion of 1991, your records are not in the computer, and an SASE with valid postage is required for a hard copy.

Please contact DXCC for any comments and/or questions relating to these new awards at dxcc@arrl.org
