Distance Scoreboard
for PNWVHFS Members

(Only for QSOs made on or after 01/01/2003. At least one station must be a member of PNWVHFS at time of contact.)
See rules for record claim submission at bottom of page

Official North American claimed distance records are maintained by the
ARRL at http://www.arrl.org/qst/worldabove/dxrecords.html

Click here to go to the Established Records page, where there are easy-to-read tables showing record distances per mode for each band.

Submit your Society DX record claim by sending an E-mail message to the Society Reflector.
Include the following information:

1. Frequency
2. Your station callsign and 6 character grid locator
3. Other station callsign and 6 character grid locator
4. Emission Mode (CW, SSB or Digital only)
5. Date
6. Distance in Kilometers
7. Propagation mode (Tropo, Tropo PC, Tropo P, Aurora, Auroral E, F₂, E_s, FAI, EME, Meteor Scatter, Ionospheric Scatter, Rain Scatter, Airplane Scatter or LOS only)
(Tropo=Tropospheric propagation over land. Ground wave contacts will be included in this category; Tropo PC=Tropo along Pacific Coast where a large part of the path is over the Pacific Ocean; Tropo P=Path between West Coast and Hawaii or other non-continental target in the Pacific Ocean) .

Note: A quick distance and bearing calculator is provided by N0UK here.

Another Note: I might be convinced to make exceptions to items 4 and 7 above on an individual basis. After all, this is for fun. For instance, if you were to contact someone 600 miles away using 1296 MHz Amateur TV, it would certainly be noteworthy.

Final (for now) Note: This page is for members of the Pacific Northwest VHF Society, but it is no longer a function of the Society. If you see something that needs to be corrected or if you have a suggestion, please direct it to me, not to an officer of the Society. Have fun.
73,
Paul, K7CW
