This list shows the single operators having achieved more than 30,000 QSOs during a DXpedition. We keep only track of real single op DXpeditions but not of those who have been for example on a longer job assignment in a rare country. We also do not list the most travelled DXers who have been on two dozen or more DXpeditions, for example G3TXF, G3SXW, DJ6SI, DK7PE, UA4WHX.

Jukka Heikinheimo, OH2BR, logged most contacts made during a single-operator DXpedition as VP6BR on Pitcairn in 2000. This has been recognized as a Guinness world record.
