[DXBase] DXCC QSO Form

Sun, 6 Apr 2003 19:20:00 -0700

I recently submitted 600 cards for 20 and 15 certificates and the usual
updates. I had never submitted for those awards, so some of my cards wee
over 30 years old.
I sent NC1L an email first asking if I needed to list them, and he said it
wasn't necessary, just sort them as required, so I sent them with no list.
(I hadn't taken the time to reconcile DXbase with my historical master list
in Excel.)
Having said that, though, I'd suggest sending the list with the cards. I
had some data entry errors, which isn't hard to understand given the 10 MHz
versus 10M problem, changing prefixes over time, etc. Bill, NC1L, told me
to add a Post-It note to those cards with multiband QSOs so they would know
which bands to enter to save data entry charges. Bill corrected the data
entry errors, and I even reported the one or two I received credit for in
error.
So sending the list is my recommendation.

It probably does not matter anyway. The DXCC page on the ARRL website
has an updated (05/03--??) application form vs. the one in DXB2003
(4/01), and all they mention is to list the QSO's in order by band/mode.
I guess it's all irrelevant after all.

George,
At the time the format of this form was created, we reviewed it with the
DXCC Desk at the ARRL. At that time, they did not care whether the QSOs
started with 160, down or if they started with 10 and up. In fact,
they
pointed out that the form is rarely even required. (But maybe that has
changed.) They simply wanted the bands sorted together and within each
band
wanted the modes sorted. This makes it a little easier for their typist
to
input them. The DXbase ARRL form has been used by a lot of folks
without
problem.
Regards,
Jack
