22 April 2023 NCDXF Press Release

    In April 2021, NCDXF announced the creation of an award – “The 
DXcellence Award”-- to be awarded to the outstanding DXpedition of the 
last 12 months, which received funding from NCDXF. The award is intended 
to recognize excellence in a DXpedition, exemplified by practices, 
ethics, management, transparency, impact upon the DXing community, and 
lastly exhibited FUN! The winner of the award is determined by the NCDXF 
Board of Directors. The Board considers several factors, including 
performance, complexity of the DXpedition, and impact on Club Log’s most 
wanted ranking. Especially important are activities associated with 
humanitarian efforts and education. On celebration of our 50th year of 
operation, NCDXF is proud to award its 2023 DXcellence Award to Thierry 
Mazel, F6CUK. Thierry is recognized for the outstanding performance of a 
well-organized DXpedition to Crozet, FT8WW, that had a significant 
impact on Club Log users’ totals from the #3 Most Wanted entity. The 
NCDXF looks forward to other DXpeditions this year that will qualify for 
the next award in 2024. We are hopeful that many DXpeditions will be 
funded by NCDXF and qualify for this award. Congratulations to FT8WW on 
the second annual award!
   The mission of NCDXF is to provide necessary financial support for 
well-organized DXpeditions to desirable DXCC entities and to support 
advances in DXpeditioning skills, technology, and infrastructure.      
Those funds come from the contributions of our supporters in the DX 
community. Your contribution will help make DX happen. Visit our
