The Cass Award encourages DXpeditions to maximize the number of DXers they work by annually presenting a $1000 prize to the single-operator DXpedition that works the most unique callsigns within a 4-week interval. This award is named in honor of Cass WA6AUD (SK), whose stories in the West Coast DX Bulletin taught a generation of DXers that DX IS! The winner of the 2012 Cass Award will be announced in March 2013.
An “unlimited” award category with a larger prize is under development for introduction in 2013. If you’d like to pledge a contribution, send email to Contribution@CassAward.com .
