[Dx4win] New Application Note: DXCC Award Tracking

[Mike Rhodes]

Jim,
  I suspect that is exactly what Andy wants to do, submit separately. 
With 1300 cards to be checked, that figures up to something like $12 for 
the first 120 Qs and $177 for the next 1180. Then there will be an 
additional $12 for each certificate so, assuming 5BDXCC, that is another 
$60 for each band plus another $12 for the 5BDXCC cert. That brings him 
to about $261, not counting Registered Mail round trip for about 9 
pounds of cards! I don't think I would be willing to trust the PO with 
nearly every QSL I owned, all in one place at one time!
  Bu the ARRL still has Andy in a tough (expensive) spot because, unless 
he wants to spread this job out over several years, he is still going to 
have to either take the 15 cents/card hit for some oversized shipments 
or pay the extra $10 per submission to submit more than once per year!
  Oh yeah, don't forget the extra $12 per for the CW, SSB, and RTTY DXCC 
certs...
  Andy, my suggestion is, once you decide how big a hit you want to take 
at a time, is to export the submissions to EXCEL and sort them into 
whatever bitesize chunks you desire. Just make sure your export file 
includes the various submission categories.
