DXCC
The DX Century Club is one of ham radio's most prestigious awards. The goal is to make confirmed contacts with at least 100 DXCC entities -- countries, territories, and certain remote islands recognized by the ARRL. Hamtrax tracks every entity you work and shows your progress visually.
Viewing Your DXCC Progress
- Open the Profile tab.
- Tap the DXCC progress ring, or navigate to Awards > DXCC.
- You'll see your total unique entities worked, along with a breakdown by band and mode.

What You'll See
The DXCC screen gives you several ways to explore your progress:
- Total entities worked -- Your overall count toward the 100-entity goal (and beyond).
- Band breakdown -- See which entities you've worked on each band (160m through 6m). This helps you chase band-specific endorsements.
- Mode breakdown -- Filter by Mixed, Phone, CW, or Digital to track mode-specific progress separately.
- Entity list -- A searchable list of all DXCC entities, showing which ones you've worked and which are still needed.

Tap any entity in the list to see the QSOs that count toward it, including the date, band, and mode of each contact.
How Entities Are Resolved
When you log a QSO, Hamtrax resolves the DXCC entity from the contact's callsign prefix and country information. It uses the current ARRL DXCC entity list, which includes over 340 recognized entities. Deleted entities are not counted.
DXCC entity resolution is automatic. If a callsign's entity can't be determined (for example, a special event callsign with an unusual prefix), you can manually set the DXCC entity when editing the QSO.
Milestones
Hamtrax recognizes several DXCC milestones as you progress:
| Milestone | Entities |
|---|---|
| DXCC | 100 |
| DXCC Honor Roll | 300+ |
| #1 Honor Roll | All current entities |
When you cross a milestone, you'll earn a trophy that's displayed on your profile.
Hamtrax counts entities as "worked" based on QSOs in your logbook. The official DXCC award requires confirmed contacts (via Logbook of the World or QSL cards). Your Hamtrax count may differ from your official DXCC standing.
