Introduction
Jari Jussila, OH2BU, began collecting and maintaining records of DXpeditions that achieved at least 30,000 QSOs and published his first list—containing around 40 DXpeditions—in the late 1990s. Community feedback, including requests for additions and corrections, helped refine the data and gradually shaped what became the Mega DXpeditions Honor Roll. The Honor Roll was later transferred into a database and has been maintained by Bernd, DF3CB, in recent years. Since 2015, it has been hosted on the website of the German DX Foundation (GDXF).
Today, the regularly updated Mega DXpeditions Honor Roll presented on these pages contains far more than just call signs and total QSO counts. It includes detailed statistics, category‑based rankings, and top lists—each linking to a dedicated DXpedition page with further information, operator details, and the corresponding QSL card image.
If you have any comments or corrections and additions to the list, please e-mail Bernd at: 
. We need some particular information, please check our Needed page.

Charts and World Records
The complete list of DXpeditions is shown in the Honor Roll - sorted by the number of achieved QSOs - and by year of activity, by DXCC Entities or by Continent - and we have a list of Single-Operator DXpeditions with more than 30,000 QSOs. The World Records page shows the leading DXpeditions in the categories of the highest number of total QSOs, QSOs per mode and band and per continent.
The Top Twenty DXpeditions having achieved the highest number of QSOs on each of the bands 160m through 6m are shown on the Bands page and the highest number on each CW, Phone and Digital on the Modes page. The band and mode charts are based on the band/mode breakdowns of a DXpedition (as long as we have them available).
And we have a list of the most active Operators having taken part in DXpeditions with over 30,000 QSOs.
