In April 2021, NCDXF announced the creation of an award – “The DXcellence Award”.   To be awarded to the outstanding DXpedition of the last twelve month, which received funding form NCDXF. The award is intended to recognize excellent in a DXpedition, exemplified by practices, ethics, management, transparency, impact upon the DXing community, and lastly exhibited FUN!

The winner of the award is determined by the NCDXF Board of Directors.  The board considers several factors, including performance, complexity of the DXpedition, impact on Clublog most wanted ranking.  Especially important are activities associated with humanitarian and education.

On celebration of our 50th year of operation, NCDXF is proud to award its 2023 DXcellence Award to Thierry Mazel, F6CUK. Thierry is recognized for the outstanding performance of a well-organized DXpedition to Crozet, FT8WW, that had a significant impact on Club Log users’ totals from the #3 Most Wanted entity.

The NCDXF looks forward to other DXpeditions this year that will qualify for the next award in 2024. We are hopeful that many DXpeditions will be funded by NCDXF and qualify for this award. Congratulations to FT8WW on the second annual award!
