Application

Applications for this award may be made by any of the following methods:

1. Submission of QSL cards for the countries being claimed.  These will be returned after checking. Alternatively, photocopies of these QSL cards are acceptable. Such copies must clearly show both sides if applicable, both callsigns, and establish beyond any doubt that a two way datamode contact took place.

2. Submission of a check-list containing the log extracts for the points being claimed. Check list should include date, time, band, callsign worked, mode, report, etc. This check list together with the corresponding QSL cards should be examined by the Awards Manager of a national radio society, or by TWO officers of a recognised radio club/society.  The signed check list and appropriate fee should then be forwarded.

3. Claims can also be accepted based on a contest log(s) submitted for any BARTG contest. The claim must be made within 5 years of the first contest log submission, and for all QSOs claimed, you must have submitted a contest or check log at the appropriate time for that contest.

 Note: For the purpose of establishing country status, and in which continent that country lies, refer to the ARRL DXCC list.
