Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will you check anyone's cards?

A: Yes, as long as you are a member of the ARRL and follow DXCC Program guidelines. I will check cards in the order I receive them, but I will give priority to the Montana Section followed by Northwestern Division residents. In cases where I am backlogged, I may suggest using a local checker in your area.

Q: Can you check all cards?

A: No. I cannot check cards for 160 Meters or deleted countries. I can now check cards for all current entities, as long as the are dated after 15 November 1945.

Q: Is there a preferred way to ship cards to you?

A: Certified or Registered mail is the safest way to ensure you cards are delivered properly. However, I will accept cards sent by any standard shipping method you choose.

Q: Can I just send my materials to you?

A: No, I would rather hear from you in advance, especially if I'm out of town you won't have to wonder what happened to your cards. My address/phone number/email address are shown below.

Q: Can I check the status of my DXCC application at the ARRL web site?

A: Yes, the League has setup a web page where you can check that your application has been received, and where you are in the processing queue. Click here to visit the Applications Received page.

Q: What order do the cards need to be in?

A: The DXCC Desk has asked that your cards be sorted by band, then by mode, then multi-QSO cards at the end of the stack. This is spelled out on the record sheet of QSOs you got from the League's web site. So, first put 80 Meter Phone cards, then 80 Meter CW cards, then 40 Meter Phone cards, and so on, until 10 Meter CW cards. After that, list any cards that have multiple QSOs on them.

Q: Are official DXCC Rules available online?

A: Yes, click here to read the rules. The rules contain a detailed description of how field checking works, and what cards are acceptable for field checking.
