The Worked US Territories Award (WUST) is a very colorful certificate sponsored by the METRO DX Club. 

Contact a minimum of fourteen (14) of the current sixteen (16) IARU-recognized U.S. territories (as of 1 January, 2011). The sixteen WUST territories are: KG4 (Guantanamo Bay), KHØ (Mariana Islands), KH1 (Baker & Howland Islands), KH2 (Guam), KH3 (Johnston Island), KH4 (Midway Island), KH5 (Palmyra & Jarvis Islands), KH5K (Kingman Reef), KH7K (Kure Island), KH8 (American Samoa), KH8S (Swains Island), KH9 (Wake Island), KP1 (Navassa Island), KP2 (US Virgin Islands), KP4 (Puerto Rico) and KP5 (Desecheo Island). Mixed bands and modes OK. No date restriction. GCR list certified by two licensed amateurs showing the callsign of the station worked, date, time, frequency/band and mode.

If you are at the TOP OF THE ARRL DXCC HONOR ROLL as printed in the most recent QST (normally the August edition), you automatically qualify for the award without having to send copies of QSL cards. You must write "TOP OF THE ARRL DXCC HONOR ROLL IN QST AUGUST 2010" (or the most current year of QST) on the Award Application in the "QSO Data" section. This applies ONLY to those who are at the VERY TOP (Number 1) on the ARRL DXCC Honor Roll.

For an LoTW confirmation, it must be verified by two amateurs as does a QSL card, or a copy of the screenshot of the LoTW QSL confirmation detail may be substituted.

Photocopies of QSL cards are OK. SWL OK. Send GCR list or QSL photocopies and fee of US$8 or 4 valid IRCs to:

METRO DX Club, 3810 N. Chamlin Drive , Morris , IL 60450

Following receipt of the original award for a minimum of fourteen territories, endorsements for contact #15 or contact #16 are available for US$3.00 or two (2) valid IRCs.

See the Award Application for further information.
