[WVDXA] QSL card question

Dang Clarkster,
I like your answer a whole lot better than Hal's.  And I doubt we would even get an answer from Ole Dave anytime soon.

Greg,

     I'm not Hal or Dave but I can answer this.  Once you have a QSL checked by the ARRL and it is credited to your DXCC account, you do NOT have to have it checked again for any DXCC award, including 6-M DXCC.  It becomes a part of your DXCC Account the first time it is checked and you can use it for other awards at any time.  For example, if you submit a QSL for an 80-M CW contact with England as a part of your initial DXCC 100 QSL's to get your basic Mixed DXCC, then you can use that same "credit" at a later time toward an 80-M DXCC award, a CW DXCC award, the Challenge Award, or a 5BDXCC without having to re-submit the QSL.

     When the ARRL DXCC Department checks your QSL, it is just a "credit" to your account.  How you use that "credit" for what award later is up to you.  If you had "credits" at the DXCC Desk that had already been checked before they even began the Challenge Award, then you could apply them to that award which didn't even exist when you had the card checked.  The only exception is back many years ago they just checked the card for the country and the mode, not the band.  So, I'm having to submit 35-year old QSL's now for my Challenge Award which I had previously submitted in the 1970's for my original DXCC.

     Congratulations on your progress toward 6-M DXCC.  Let's hope the sunspots start up again soon so you can chop off another dozen or so new ones quickly.
