DXCC Most Wanted List by ARRL

This list represents the total number of entity credits submitted to DXCC for each of
the 338 current entities shown below. Since this not a true representation of the
actual “most-needed” in the DX community, this list is mostly for statistical
information, only. Since the Mixed category will always be the highest number in any
award category, the total contacts shown below are based on Mixed totals credited in
DXCC.

Compiled by Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL Awards Branch Manager
List effective date December 31, 2010
Note: When DXCC completes work for the 2010 calendar year, the new PJ entities
will then be added.
