He said that. >To best of my knowledge, the ARRL does not offer mode awards by band.

Yes you would. Too bad it doesn't work that way. And speaking of strange things, when I ran this and look at the DXCCQSO.RPT, I had 97 actual entries, yet at the top of the form it says, Total:120, 100%, 120 of 120 and I have four pages even though the last one is completely empty. The WAS report does the same thing; always shows 50 regardless of how many actual entries there are.

Because the five phone contacts add to his "Phone" award, regardless of band and the five phone + the five CW add to his 40 meter total. The band awards *ARE NOT* mode specific. When you select 40 meters, you should get *every* new one for 40 meters. >There's no trumping going on. There is indeed.
