Trophies
Trophies are visual achievements you earn by hitting milestones in Hamtrax. They're awarded automatically as you log QSOs, activate parks, work new countries, and use the app -- no manual action required. Your earned trophies are displayed on your profile for other operators to see.
Viewing Your Trophies
- Open the Profile tab.
- Scroll to the Trophies section, or tap Trophies to see your full collection.
- Earned trophies are shown in full color. Locked trophies appear dimmed with a description of what you need to do to earn them.

Trophy Categories
Trophies are organized into several categories based on how you earn them.
Milestone Trophies
Earned by reaching cumulative thresholds in your operating:
| Milestone | Example Thresholds |
|---|---|
| QSO count | 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000+ |
| Country count | 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 |
| State count | 10, 25, 40, 50 |
| Zone count | 10, 20, 30, 40 |
Each threshold earns its own trophy, so there's always a next goal to chase.

Competition Badges
If you participate in Hamtrax competitions and challenges, you can earn badges for victories, win streaks, and standout performances. See Challenges for details.
Check your locked trophies to see what's coming next. Some are just a few QSOs away -- you might be closer than you think.
Rarity Tiers
Each trophy has a rarity tier based on how many Hamtrax users have earned it:
| Tier | Rarity |
|---|---|
| Common | Earned by 50%+ of users |
| Uncommon | Earned by 20-50% of users |
| Rare | Earned by 5-20% of users |
| Epic | Earned by 1-5% of users |
| Legendary | Earned by fewer than 1% of users |
Rarity tiers are shown as decorative frames around each trophy. As more operators join Hamtrax, rarity percentages shift -- so a trophy that's Rare today could become Epic tomorrow.
Trophies are earned automatically. There's nothing to submit or claim. When you hit a milestone, the trophy appears in your collection immediately.
