         Mega DX Peditions Honor Roll have been maintained now for
twelve years. The Honor Roll today includes data of 113 DX Peditions
that have worked 30.000 or more QSO's. The oldest DX Pedition found
of the list is 8Z4A from 1979.

The Honor Roll includes data on:
         - the total amount and uniques of the DX Pedition,
         - the amount of QSO's to the six continents,
         - the amount of QSO's on different modes,
         - the amount of QSO's on different bands,
         - the team members of the DX pedition and
         - the QSL and web info of the DX pedition.

         The data is collected from DX bulletins, web pages, DX
magazines, presentations and directly from individual DX pedition
team members. All data has not been received from the 113 DX peditions
listed.

         The purpose of DX Pedition Honor Roll is to help DX
peditions to plan their operation, to understand the possibilities to
make QSO's to different continents and to optimize the efforts. For
DX foundations and individual DXers the Honor Roll gives also a
plenty of data.

         The two-day-old VP6DX operation from Ducie broke most of the
records that can be broken at the sunspot minimum.

         Here's a short overview on some of the today updated Mega DX
Peditions Honor Roll records:
