RADIO GROWTH: DXCC SEES AN INCREASE IN APPLICATIONS
Interest in DX is growing. So says the ARRL as we hear from
Amateur Radio Newsline's Heather Butera-Howell, KB3TZD, has
more:
--
The ARRL reports that it appears as if more amateurs are
working DX these days. This in turn means the ARRL's
Membership and Volunteer Programs Department, especially the
DXCC Desk and the ARRL Incoming and Outgoing QSL Bureaus,
are working very hard in processing applications and sending
out cards via the different QSL Bureaus.
In 2010, the DXCC Desk processed 7134 applications for
initial awards and endorsements. These 2010 applications
included 853,462 QSOs. In 2011, the DXCC Desk processed
11,175 applications, representing 1,250,864 QSOs.
Sharon Taratula is the Membership and Volunteer Programs
Administrative Manager. She explained that comparing 2010
to 2011 represents a 47 percent increase in the number of
QSO's and a 57 percent increase in the number of
applications received.
And that's quite an impressive increase in any area of ham
radio.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Butera-Howell,
near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
