[Dx-qsl] DXCC certificates

[David Corney]

Mine was #32,373 PHONE. I wonder if yours was MIXED or CW?

I say this because I learned something about the DXCC certificates today.
The type of certificates and endorsements weren't clear to me, so I e-mailed
the DXCC desk for an explanation. When I submitted my cards, they were all
PHONE and all Ten Meters. I asked the question why then did my certificate
said PHONE but not TEN METERS. Well each certificate is for either a mode
(PHONE, CW, MIXED, RTTY) or a BAND (80M-10M). If I wanted one for Ten
Meters, that would be another certificate, and another $10 of course. A
certificate can only have a MODE or BAND not both. I am still a little
confused as to how one would get a BAND certificate as it would always be a
PHONE, CW, MIXED or RTTY, no matter what. I guess it just depends upon which
box you check in the form.

Different question .... It took a year for me to get enough cards for DXCC.
But the funny thing is I have had only one mailing of 10 cards from the
incoming bureau in a years time. The other 92 cards were via direct. I have
sent well over 400 cards to the outgoing bureau, 150 of them exactly a year
ago. I know the bureau takes some time, but only ten cards in one year?
Sorry if this is off subject for this group.
