Distance records [under construction]

The list below shows the claimed distance records on 472 kHz, worldwide and continental.
In addition a 500 kHz list (contacts near 500 kHz prior to 2012-02-17) and TOP 10 lists are also available (click on the worldwide or continental links).

Regarding the modes, distinction is made between phone, CW, QRSS (including DFCW) and digi. WSPR is treathed seperately, for the continentals lists both the TX and RX distance records are noted.
QSO stands for complete two way contacts (exchange of callsigns, reports and confirmation). SWL stands for one way contacts, including cross band QSOs and incomplete two way contacts (in all cases at least copy of the full callsign is required). One way contacts will only be included in the lists if it exceeds the standing two way contact record.
WSPR reports can be claimed as one way contacts.
