It is not easy to determine if and with what amount an expedition will be supported. In general it can be said that the expedition’s destination has to be in the top of the Most Wanted List. IOTA activities will only be considered when the entity to which the island belongs is also in the Most Wanted List.
When you apply for support the following items will be considered:
- Position in the Clublog Most Wanted List for Europe.
- As a guideline a position within the Top 150 is required.
- Recent activities from the country you will go to
- Expected number of QSO’s
- The expedition team
- Equipment and antennas
- Overall costs
- EUDXF membership
- QSL practice
- The operation must be accepted for DXCC credit
- Educational and humanitarian activities
