Vincenzo,

You can build and add that award yourself. Go to: Utilities / Award Manager ... This is where you can create and enter in all the data for the award.

The current User Guide has "Awards Manager - Basic Use" starting on Page 113.

It appears all the support information you need is at the CQ website.

Nolan, I would say WPX is probably the most complex award setups you could tackle, and most likely why it hasn't been done by the awards team just yet. Asking a mere user not familiar with the Awards Manager might be asking a bit too much. I know just thinking about it makes my brain hurt :)

The latest version of Log4OM2 (2.12) finally supports the WPX award. Daniele worked very hard to implement the changes necessary to implement WPX support. I have created a WPX award definition which tracks all the mode, band and continent awards.

Please note that in some cases it is impossible to detect the correct prefix (e.g. AH3C/KH5J). You always can edit/correct the prefix now in the Edit QSO window.

Enjoy!
