we are delighted to work in partnership with Northern Californian DX Club who
have very kindly agreed to sponsor all trophies this year.
Trophies will be presented to the Top 5 DXpeditions as voted for by you.
That means each person has 5 votes. Use them wisely :) The survey runs until
midnight on January 1, 2015 with results known the next day. Happy voting and
thank you for taking part!
NOTE: This year to avoid dupes, or dummy votes by non-hams, your vote, to
be definitively accepted, will be matched with your callsign and email address
listed only in QRZ.com. This cross-checking does in no way alter or change the
way you vote. If you do not receive a confirmation email please check your spam
folder. [DX-World]
