DXpedition Support

DXpedition Support

It is not easy to determine if and with what amount an expedition will be supported. In general it can be said that the expedition’s destination has to be in the top of the Most Wanted List. IOTA activities will only be considered when the entity to which the island belongs is also in the Most Wanted List.

When you apply for support the following items will be considered:

Position in the Clublog Most Wanted List for Europe.
- As a guideline a position within the Top 100 is required.
Recent activities from the country you will go to
Expected number of QSO’s
The expedition team
Equipment and antennas
Overall costs
EUDXF membership
QSL practice
The operation must be accepted for DXCC credit
Educational and humanitarian activities

Your obligations

Once support has been granted we expect the following from the expedition:

EUDXF Logo
- The EUDXF logo should be printed on the DXpedition QSL cards.
  In exceptional cases approved by EUDXF the support can be mentioned in another format.
Website
- When the DXpedition has a website the support should be mentioned there, including the EUDXF logo.
QSL Practice
- The DXpedition shall at least answer all incoming QSL cards
- Direct cards with sufficient compensation for return postage shall be answered via mail

  The flag can also be used for shack decoration.
