What is 5-Band DXCC and how do I apply for it?

Once you have the initial 5-Band award, you can endorse it for 160, 30, 17, 12, 6 and 2-Meters. A certificate and a plaque are available for this award. See Section I rule 1(q). For sample certificates and plaques, see: http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html#si Note: Endorsement plates for plaques are available for each of the endorsable bands listed above. If you wish to order (an) endorsement plate(s), be sure to include the special order form with your order.
