This list represents the total number of entity credits submitted to DXCC for each of the 338 current entities shown below. Since this not a true representation of the actual “most-needed” in the DX community, this list is mostly for statistical information, only. Since the Mixed category will always be the highest number in any award category, the total contacts shown below are based on Mixed totals credited in DXCC.
