Hi Topbanders,

I searched the Web trying to find suitable software for keeping track of
ARRL DXCC awards.  A few are there, but none that are stand-alone or do
the job the way I think it should be done, so I wrote my own.

It keeps track of all DXCC awards, including the single band 160-meter
DXCC and the 160-meter endorsment for 5BDXCC.  It includes all 331
current countries on the ARRL Entity List and and gives you quick access
to:

   1) Your ARRL credits for any of the awards
   2) Countries confirmed, but not yet submitted to the ARRL
   3) Countries worked, but not yet confirmed

and running totals of all three of the above for each individual award.

For countries worked but not confirmed, it allows you to keep track of
when you sent your QSL and its routing.

It will print out a list of countries worked in a format similar to the
list you must submit to the ARRL when you apply for an award or
endorsment to an award.

It's stand-alone, menu-driven, and will run in DOS or Windows NT/95/98.

After years of trying to keep track of all this on paper, this program
makes it a snap for me.

Anyone who wants a copy, e-mail your request direct to me and I'll send
it to you as an attached file.  The program is also available from the
ARRL BBS as "DXCC.ZIP".

73, de Earl, K6SE
