The ARRL DXCC Desk has approved the current 2013 through May 2014 operations of ZS8C and ZS8Z — Prince Edward and Marion Islands — for DX Century Club credit. If a request for DXCC credit for these operations has been rejected in a prior application, contact ARRL Awards Branch Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, to be placed on the list for an update to your record. Please note the submission date and/or reference number of your application in order to expedite the search for any rejected contacts.

DXCC is Amateur Radio’s premier award that hams can earn by confirming on-the-air contacts with 100 DXCC “entities,” most of which are countries in the traditional sense. 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
