QSLGuidelines

QSLs form the basis of the 3905 Century Club awards program. QSLs can be obtained through traditional methods or electronic confirmations. The Century Club does not mandate a specific medium.

Each award applicant must have a QSL for every contact listed on an award application. Electronic links to the confirmation and screenshots of a log are not acceptable.

Required information for QSLs:

  • Confirming operator’s call sign and location (US state, Canadian province, or DXCC Entity)

  • Contacted station’s call sign, including any DX modifiers

  • Date and time (UTC)

  • Radio band used

  • Communication mode (SSB, RTTY, PSK, CW)

For Mobile or Portable QSLs, also include:

  • Type of operation (Mobile or Portable)

  • Location of the operator

These are the minimum requirements for QSLs.

Add the following information if applicable:

  • Progressive award numbers

  • Officer or VIP positions

  • Wild duce numbers

  • Note if the net is an “early” or “late” net

  • Include National Park Name, Tripoints, High Points, Low Points, etc.
