Introduction

DXFC represents a different kind of DX for radio hams. DXFC stands for "DX Foot Club". It is modelled on the DX Century Club, but instead of radio contacts with each country, you actually have to set foot in each country. No confirmation is required, and you can decide what constitutes a valid visit in your book.

There is also a separate QRV score for each station, to indicate in which countries you have been active on the ham radio bands. Again, you decide what constitutes valid activity.

To participate, go to DXFC, create an account and tick the boxes for all the countries you've been to. The server does the rest. It includes really funky reporting, such as showing which countries a specific person has visited and operated from, which persons have visited a specific country, which countries are rarest, and even which countries have never been visited by any participant! It can also sort the main list alphabetically or by countries visited or operated from.

A handful of South Africans have enrolled. Hopefully, the number will grow. This document is an extract of all Southern Africans in the list. I'll also try to retain a list of standings at the end of every calendar year, for archive purposes.

Please let me know if I miss something. Especially if hams from neighbouring countries start participating, I might. I also might not check the standings quite as often as I'd like to, so I might miss a movement. I'd love to know about it, so the list can remain up to date and correct.

Updating your Totals

Update your total directly on DXFC. If you like, let me know so I won't miss it, and can update the list without delay.

Short Profiles

Here are short profiles of all South African participants. You'll notice that none of them are independently wealthy. In most cases, the scores have been built up through many years through a combination of business and personal travel.

Please let me know if you have something to add (either about yourself or about someone else).
