Chasing amateur radio Awards.

Amateur radio Awards are another exciting facet of the hobby of amateur radio.  The number of awards out there is enormous and some are very easily obtained.

The 'premier' award is the ARRL's DX Century Club Award (DXCC) which is awarded to amateurs for contacting stations in at least 100 countries.
​
Many awards require the production of QSL cards, but many do not.  With ARRL DXCC for example, you can now apply on-line via LOTW and no QSL cards are required.
