Great work on that, Clive! But have you done so in the last 3-4 years on
any mode other than FT8? From my QTH near San

USA-CA, although a significant achievement, has very few applications, but many
participants.
CQ is not investing in USA-CA. CQ spent money to add WAZ and WPX in LOTW.
CQ's other awards do not generate enough $$ to be invested into LOTW
programming.

The “Toplist” awards are run by MARAC. This, and all other awards, are after
one achieves USA-CA , which is run by CQ. They do not require confirmations,
and are on the honor system.
It plays for a very small set of amateurs who can’t get working counties out of
their system.

Even I have more counties, than Laci OM2VL on 6 meters :)
To UY0ZG - this is not national award, but private. I wrote to NX0X,

"USA-CA = volunteers = 1 application per week."
It is clear that for really serious awards there should be fewer
applications. But, I repeat, with the right advertising there will be
many times more people (especially from Europe) willing to announce
their results.

IOTA = a corporation = 100 award applications per week
USA-CA = volunteers = 1 application per week.

Maybe I don't understand something. But the IOTA program has no
problem taking data from LotW. The award itself can be sent
electronically. The main thing is to design the list effectively. I
don't see any global problems

Thank you.
But this list does not look impressive. In today's world, design and
advertising play a huge role. People need a separate list for the 160 m
band CW/PHONE on the official website. Then there will be a lot of
people willing to claim their results.

The founders can solve everything with LotW (like IOTA). About money.
Yes - this is a problem for Ukraine now. Prices need to be set taking

If the founders publish a sheet titled USA - 500 ( or 1000 )CW/SSB 160 m
, then you should definitely send in an application for this award. It
will be the most prestigious award for topbanders.
All European crooks will drool with envy.

Hi Nick,
Well I have never checked from here, but I have worked WAS twice during a
single weekend and have over 8600 Qs with the USA on 160. That is without
trying to make a habit of working USA on a daily basis. So I am sure someone
like me should have worked that award but just not claimed

Luis said it right - that's the real prize at 160m. It is inaccessible

Hi
Where can I see the list of recipients of this award?
https://countyhunter.com/cq.htm
Does anyone from Europe have a USA - 500 or USA - 1000 award for working
on the 160m band?
If there is, it really is a very, very serious result .
