Rules:

The 10-10 Counties award accepts contacts made to/from a fixed, portable, or mobile station. Cost is $2.00 USA and $3.00 for DX. Please include your E-mail address, if you have one.

QSO locations and county determination is by one of the following methods:


The National Zip Code and Directory of Post Offices is the official guide in determining the county of contact by referencing the name of nearest municipality.


In the case of Parks or Reservations not within a county boundary, applicants may claim any single adjoining county.


Several states have Independent Cities that may qualify for a county contact. A listing of approved Independent Cities is included below.

QSL confirmation is NOT required for the 10-10 Counties award; however a station's log data must be made available to the Award Manager upon request.

The initial 10-10 Counties Award is issued for submittal of the first 100 counties. Counties may then be submitted as worked in groups of 100 after issuance of the initial certificate.

Details for each contact MUST be submitted in the following order: state (listed alphabetically by the state's full spelling and NOT by the two letter abbreviation) and county worked, 10-10 number, callsign, name, and date of contact. Calls should be marked /P or /M, as appropriate.

Forms suitable for submission of county applications are available in HTML or PDF formats among the Key Forms. Also available there in text or PDF format is a complete list of counties in the US.

Seals will be issued for the following levels of achievement in 10-10 county hunting -- RED for 500 counties, BLUE for 1000 counties, YELLOW for 1500 counties, GREEN for 2000 counties, SILVER for 2500 counties, GOLD for 3000 counties. A Plaque is awarded (at no charge to the applicant) for working all 3076 US counties.

The Award Manager has the capability to prepare a listing of all credited and worked counties for each 10-10 member in ASCII text file format. Any 10-10 member may request such a listing. The listing will be indexed alphabetically by county with the date format as MM/DD/YY. To receive such a list of counties worked either e-mail or send an SASE to the award manager.

10-10 award general rules and requirements are applicable.
