Correct DXCCID/Prefix for Antarctica stations?
How does one know the correct DXCCID/Prefix for Antarctica stations
such as R1ANC (Vostok Base), RU3HD/ANT (Novalazareskaya Base), DP1POL (Ekstroem Shelf Ice) or KC4AAC (Palmer Station? Although I have a QSL card from each of them, there's no mention of the DXCC Entity. Isn't there more than one for Antarctica? Harry, N6TE |

DXCC Matrix and DXCC Summary
D. Scott MacKenzie
I have looked at my credit matrix on DXCC and notice that there is a
discrepancy between the DXlabs Summary and my credit matrix. In some cases the count is off by one, other times it is off by several. I downloaded my matrix and put it in a spreadsheet - and used the counts to try and match up to the DXlabs summary... Is there an easy way to find the differences? In all cases, the DXCC Credit matrix showed a higher count than I showed in my summary. I really don't want to miss any. Thanks for everything. Scott |
