I just received LOTW confirmation from R5AJ, and with it my 400th prefix to qualify me for the WPX Mixed award. Until very recently I was completely unaware that I was even close; in fact I was unaware of how many prefixes were needed -- I simply never chased after prefixes in the same way I do DXCC countries. But I guess they just accumulate over time.
I doubt I'll apply for the award any time soon; I'll probably wait until I also qualify for the CW and SSB awards plus whatever other endorsements I can get at that time, then do it all at once. Next up: WPX CW -- just 54 needed to reach the needed 300 for that award. I'm already well past the required 160 prefixes required for the WPX Mixed North America endorsement.
