had cards for these operations rejected in a recent application, please
conact the ARRL DXCC Desk (dxccadmin[@]arrl.org) to be placed on the list

DX LOG ARCHIVE PROGRAMME ---> "A major donation from noted DXer Kan
Mizoguchi, JA1BK, to the ARRL Second Century Campaign will support 'The DX
Log Archive Endowed by JA1BK'. Earnings from the generous gift will fund
the creation and management of a DX Log Archive Program for paper DX logs
of rare and significant DXpeditions that took place predominantly in the
1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The archive also would include pre-1950 paper
logs, as well as those from rare operations, and logs kept by long-time
residents of very rare entities.
The ARRL will be reaching out to the DX community to collect paper DX
station logs for inclusion. All logbooks will be inventoried and housed at
ARRL Headquarters. Confirmations from archived logs will be made available
via Logbook of the World (LoTW) or, upon request, with a traditional QSL
card.
The ARRL Membership and Volunteer Programs Department will manage the DX
Log Archive Program. A qualified volunteer or part-time ARRL employee will
execute the project. Earnings also will fund any equipment, software, and
materials needed to maintain the program". [TNX ARRL]
