What is DXFC?
The ‘F’ in DXFC stands for ‘Feet’: countries in which you have stepped foot. This is for licensed radio amateurs who like travelling. We DXers know all about DXCC so this is just our bit of fun. It works with the same 341 current ‘entities’.
You will need to create an account in order to enter your score. Do this by clicking on the 'Login/Create an Account' link above. Once that's done you can enter your DXFC score by clicking on 'Update My DXFC' in the modules section on the left.
Rules
Step foot in a DXCC entity (current at the time of the visit) to count one point, even just on the tarmac or jetty is enough. Staying on board while in transit does not count. You don’t need to pass through immigration. That’s it. No more rules! No confirmation required. There is no FAQ: answer your own questions! It’s not complicated - it’s just fun.
Register with your ham radio call-sign and claim your countries by ticking the appropriate boxes. The web-site will even count them up for you. Update whenever you like.
Veni, Vidi, QRV! There is also a column to score points for being QRV in each entity: preferably a proper operation, but we each have our own rules for this.
Articles and Soapbox
Upload stories, articles and your own blog. Describe your latest contest trips too. Other DXFC'ers are waiting to hear how you got on, what you did, etc.

QRV from Pitcairn as VP6T

G3TXF writes "Nigel G3TXF was part of the January 2012 VP6T operation from Pitcairn, and has therefore joined the small group of DXFCers who have either visited or operated from this remote island in the South Pacific. "

My last trip - Sept. 14th to Oct. 23rd 2011
|
|
Started from home Molde, Norway to Moscow, Russia to join the Russian Ham meeting. After nine interesting days I continued to Lisabon. This was a new town for me and therefore I made some few days stop before entering the cruise ship "Norwegian Sun" for the Atlantic crossing to Florida. On the way we got one day at Azores. This was a new DXFC.
In Florida we rented a car and drowe about 3200 miles through 18 US states. This makes my score to 35 visited states in total + DC. The trip back home went from Boston to Iceland. We had some nice days there driving around and spent some hours in the Blue Lagoon before we flew back home to Norway.

I went to hike in the hills of northern Tanzania, mainly because a simple extrapolation shows that the nice castor sugar coating won't be there on those hills forever. I had to transit through Nairobi to get there. I tried to extend my stay for a full day, but the change would have cost a lot of money. I ended up spending less than three hours on the ground, mostly in the airport.
I know that most of you wouldn't take a special trip to see snow, but here in Africa snow is not very common. Especially not on the Equator.
In case you're wondering: I didn't make it to the top. I turned around at 5250 m (650 m from the top). Just could not keep enough liquid and food in my body to keep those legs pumping. I hadn't puked for years, but I made up for it in that last night above 5000 m. Seeing four seasons in four days wasn't bad: A day in the rain forest, a day in the marshland above it, then a day in the lunar rockbed. Finally, a nocturnal push onto the snowclad slopes, with the wind howling in my face and the toe-numbing cold despite the sweaty effort, heavy boots and double socks. It's definitely an experience of a lifetime, even if I didn't get to play with my radio.

G3SXW writes "Lionel G5LP and I are just back from our four-day trip: overnight in Budapest Hungary and in Podgorica Montenegro at airport hotels, then two nights in an Albanian mountain resort. Fantastic fun. The drive from Podgorica into Albania was 'interesting', very rough roads. We saw a lot of infrastructure development, much of it paid by EU. We finished with about 800 QSOs made by the six call-signs. Yet again the Elecraft K2 was perfect for the purpose. In HA and 4O we used a MP1 (4-foot whip), in ZA it was a W3DZZ. Everyone we met was very friendly but not many speak English."
