This is a record of the UK DX records for each band. As well as the current record, it lists some previous records.

They are not complete and are based on trawling the forum activity pages and recent contest results - please update or let us know if you know better.

Note, these are UK records only (at least one of the stations involved was located in the UK) and only lists significant one way contacts.

World records are claimed based on the W6HHC list.

World DATV records

Ken W6HHC, maintains the record of the world DATV records here: http://w6ze.org/DATV/Known-DATV-DX-Records_2018.pdf

Please send Ken an e-mail if you know of a DATV QSO that should be added to this list! (via W6HHC@ARRL.net)
