So I'm relatively new to 160M DXCC, and received #3379 on my certificate dated 11/17/2019. I went out to look at the PDF of all the other hams with 160M DXCC today, and noticed there are only 2826 call signs listed. Is there a file somewhere that shows all the hams who have achieved 160M DXCC and when? K9GL |

Congratulations on 160M DXCC. I've never seen that list but here is a great story about the first 160M DXCC back in 1969. http://lists.contesting.com/_topband/2002-10/msg00039.html As understand it, old DXCC records are on paper and not easily converted to digital files. There is a standings list but that is different. But that part of the web site is where such a list would go. http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-standings It may be possible to pay for someone to do the records conversion, just as there is funding to preserve historic DX station logs. http://www.arrl.org/dx-log-archive The DX Log Archive program was created, thanks to Kan Mizoguchi, JA1BK, to obtain, preserve and utilize paper logs from rare and significant DXpeditions.

Thanks. I just took your standings list in PDF, highlighted it, and pasted it into an Excel spreadsheet, where I sorted the call signs. I was curious how many of my hams friends had 160M DXCC. I found a few! |

The standings list is more useful for identifying friends with DXCC, as you can expect old 1x2 calls to be re-used via the Vanity call sign program. Zak W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
