Awards

There are lots of awards offered by many different radio organizations around the world. The rules vary depending on which award you are working for. Three that seem to be the most popular are DXCC and WAS administered by the ARRL, and the County Hunters awards administered by CQ Magazine. There are separate pages here for each of these awards and I'll include links to more information about each.

DXCC is often the award that comes to mind when people think of DX'ing. It is simply working and confirming the different entities on the ARRL's DXCC list. Obtaining DXCC isn't very hard even if you only have a very modest station. Sometimes getting the cards is the hard part.
