ARRL DX Century Club (DXCC) Award

The letter combination "DX" is the amateur radio acronym for distance and "DX" is generally considered as being contacts made outside one's own country. The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors the DX Century Club (DXCC) award. Although there are 17 separate DXCC awards available (based on mode or band), the most basic award is issued for contacts made to a minimum of 100 "DXCC ENTITIES" in MIXED mode (PHONE, CW, RTTY) across the HF (high frequency) amateur radio bands.In practice, each discrete geographical or political entity in the world is granted an entry in the ARRL's list of 336 DXCC entities. In the following tables, every DXCC entity is listed with every mode and band in which I am currently capable of operation. Furthermore, the tables detail the entities which I have confirmed contacts with. There two methods of confirming my contacts with stations outside of the United States. The first method is by means of trading QSL cards with the other station. The second method is electronic confirmation via the ARRL's Logbook of the World system. The tables below will be continually updated to reflect the means of confirmation for each DXCC entity. As a way of summary, the table below shows my current status of DXCC confirmations for each mode and band.
