Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: Will you check anyone's cards?
A: Yes, as long as you are a member of the ARRL and follow
DXCC Program guidelines. I will check cards in the order I receive them, but I
will give priority to the Montana Section followed by Northwestern Division residents. In
cases where I am backlogged, I may suggest using a local checker in your area.
Q: Can you check all cards?
A: No. I cannot check cards for 160 Meters, deleted
countries, or older than 10 years from the date of submission.
Q: Is there a preferred way to ship cards to you?
A: Certified or Registered mail is the safest way to ensure
you cards are delivered properly. However, I will accept cards sent by any standard
shipping method you choose.
Q: Can I just send my materials to you?
A: No, I would rather hear from you in advance,
especially if I'm out of town you won't have to wonder what happened to your cards.
My address/phone number/email address are shown below.
Q: Can I check the status of my DXCC application at the
ARRL?
A: Yes, the League has setup a web page where you can check
that your application has been received, and where you are in the processing queue.

visit the Applications Received page.
Q: What order do the cards need to be in?
A: The DXCC Desk has asked that your cards be sorted by
band, then by mode, then multi-QSO cards at the end of the stack. This is spelled
out on the record sheet of QSOs you got from the League's web site. So, first put 80
Meter Phone cards, then 80 Meter CW cards, then 40 Meter Phone cards, and so on, until 10
Meter CW cards. After that, list any cards that have multiple QSOs on them.
Q: Are official DXCC Rules available online?
A: Yes, click here to read the rules. The
rules contain a detailed description of how field checking works, and what cards are
acceptable for field checking.
