100 country DXCC award


N6DSC
 

I am new and confused to say the least. I am 87 and with FT8 I have worked hard to get my 100 countries award. I want a paper award and not an asterisk. I am getting close to the 100 countries, To me the ARRL web site is very complicated and confusing. I may have checked “Challenge” when   applying my credits. I do not what that. When I reach the 100 I want to pay the fee and get a paper certificate. How do I correct this. I think my application for the awards is all screwed up! I have been trying to apply, the confirmed countries to the Award and paying for the credits. Please can you have  patience with this dumb idiot and help me or give me some good advice? Thank you so much,

Hello Duane,

Do not feel so bad, the award process is complicated. You should probably call the ARRL awards desk. I am not sure if they monitor this list.

You can call the normal ARRL number, and ask for the awards desk. The people there are very willing to assist, and a pleasure to deal with.
Call:

1-888-277-5289

Once you get into the call tree, ask for the awards desk, then explain to them your problem. I am sure they will be able to help you get your DXCC.

By the way, CONGRATULATIONS on your submitting for a DXCC award!

73, and thanks,
