Wendell, I thought I understood this but the as I read more, I get more confused. Maybe (probably) I'm missing something. The way I read the help files, = the Priority 6 "Band/Mode not conf" has nothing to do with the 18(+/-) = separate DXCC awards that are available. The help file says Band/Mode not conf = is:
"A band / mode combination that was never worked or confirmed. This = contact will not add to award standings. (The band is not an award band and the = mode is not a new mode.) The same callsign and band/mode combination is = category 8)" The way I read the help files, if I worked but still need a mode QSL it = is a Priority 4. With a Priority 4 I may or may not need the band QSL. If I have the mode QSL but still need the band QSL it is a Priority 5. =20 As you state, Mode DXCC is band independent. So, for DXCC I don't care = if I need say a 20 meter CW card from VE as long as I have a 20 meter and a = CW card from VE. For that reason I have changed my Priority 6 spot color = to black on white, same as Priority 7. Do I have it right or have I missed something? Would appreciate any clarification. =20 TNX & 73,=20 Dave, W0VX -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] = On Behalf Of Wendell Wyly W5FL Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 11:22 PM To: W0YG Charlie Summers; DX4WIN Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Green on white spots What you are missing is the recent changes in the DXCC program that now = give credit for 18 separate DXCC awards.

Bands from 160 meters to 2 meters and Satellite = qualify for 5BDXCC and endorsements for an additional 6 bands as well as the = DXCC Challange award. I am not aware of any of these programs that require = you to work every mode on every band. That is what the green and white discussion has been about. Mode DXCC is band independent(there is not a 5BDXCC for PHONE or CW) - (thank goodness)!
