The ARRL has completed the finishing touches on certificates issued through the 5-Band DXCC (DX Century Club) and VUCC (VHF/UHF Century Club) programs. The awards program staff worked with the ARRL in-house graphic designers to create a fresh new look for these traditional awards.
The new 5-Band DXCC certificate recognizes the achievement of this award with a distinctive graphic display that incorporates the ARRL diamond and globe design that is familiar throughout the DXCC program, as well as stunning raised gold leaf enhancement; when framed and hung in your shack, it will definitely mark your accomplishment. The new VUCC award is a full color diploma that features red, white and blue shading over a grid square map with a stylish VUCC logo.
Radio amateurs earn the 5-Band DXCC award by confirming two-way contacts with at least 100 DXCC entities on each of the following amateur bands: 80 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters, 15 meters and 10 meters. Earn the VUCC award by confirming two-way V/UHF contacts in 2 × 1 degree grid squares. Complete rules for all ARRL operating awards are available on the Awards section of the ARRL Web site.
Both full-sized 11 × 17 awards are numbered and dated, bearing the signature of ARRL President Joel Harrison, W5ZN. The newly designed certificates are being issued for all new award applications. Anyone who has previously been issued a VUCC or 5-Band DXCC certificate may request a new design certificate for the cost as specified in each program’s rules.
