John Scott, VE1JS
RAC Representative on DX Advisory Committee
The DX Advisory Committee (DXAC) is a group of DXers appointed by the American Radio Relay League’s Divisions in the United States and by the Board of Directors of Radio Amateurs of Canada here in Canada.
As the RAC representative, I have been meeting with the DXAC representatives every three weeks or so via Zoom for about a year as we are doing a complete review of the DXCC rules.
There are a few items of concern to DXers such as the number of countries/entities required to make Honour Roll. At present, the rule is that to make the Honour Roll you must have been credited with a number of entities within the Top 10 possible.
For example, at present there are 340 entities on the DXAC list so the Honour Roll means at least 331 credited entities.
I would like to hear your opinions so that I can provide the views of Canadian Amateurs to the committee. Please tell me:
Should the number of such entities be reduced? If so, how far?
- 300
- 315
- 325
- Not at all

I would appreciate it if you would send your comments and thoughts to me at as soon as possible. Feel free to share with your friends.
BTW if you have any questions at all about DXing, DXCC Rules or the DXAC please ask!
