Hi SWL friends,

For participation in the SWL DX Toplist, it does not matter if the SWL is also an owner of a transmitting ham radio license or not.

Confirmed DXCC countries (entities), IOTA reference numbers and WPX prefixes are counted for report to the competition. Confirmation by a classic paper QSL card (via bureau, direct) or via eQSL is valid. Only listens on amateur radio bands are counted.

The SWL DX Toplist consists of SWL DXCC List, SWL IOTA List and SWL WPX List. You can report your score for all of three “categories” or only for one or two of them – it depends only on your decision.

The scores will published twice a year with deadlines on June, 30th and on December, 31st each year but the scores can be send through an Update Form anytime during a year.

Your score will be published on next deadline.

No prizes or diplomas will be awarded for participation in this competition.
