[Dx-qsl] Claiming 160m DXCC - Sending QSLs

[Wim]

Hello Peter

Congratulations on achieving 100 entities on topband, well done with only 100 watts!
160m QSL's have to be checked at the ARRL DXCC desk indeed. I do a yearly submission to the Arrl DXCC desk (combined LoTW and QSL cards because of my 160m QSL's) and always use registered mail. Never had any problems. Needless to say to take care to use a very strong envelope or parcel. Normally it takes about 1 week to arrive at Newington. After about 14 days you can check if your mailing has been received (and view expected processing time) at:

I wonder if anyone out there can put my mind at ease. After 11 years of perseverance with my very bent Inv-L, 100w and questionable radials -? I finally worked my 100th 160m DXCC entity ( JW/SM0MDG) and received my prized QSL card.

As far as I am aware 160m cards are not eligible for field checking and must be submitted to ARRL HQ. I feel a bit uneasy about parting with my valued cards, what is the best (SAFEST) way of sending my cards to and from Newington.
