ARRL Awards Branch Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, says the deadline for submissions to be published in the DXCC Yearbook is Tuesday, December 31. A hard copy of the Yearbook remains available, $8 in the US, $12 elsewhere, postage included. To be in the annual listing, DXers must make at least one submission during the calendar year or be on the current Honor Roll. The DXCC Annual List is included as part of The DXCC Yearbook, which is published each year in the digital edition of the August QST.

You can begin with the basic DXCC award and work your way up to the DXCC Honor Roll. Learn more. — ARRL Awards Branch Manager Bill Moore, NC1L
