Counties, formally county-level divisions (县级行政区) are found in the third level of the administrative hierarchy in provinces and autonomous regions, and the second level in municipalities and Hainan, a level that is known as «county level» and also contains autonomous counties, county-level cities, banners, autonomous banner, and city districts. There are 2,862 county-level divisions in the People's Republic of China as listed below. As an amateur radio club we have added a few special territories to the programme to make it more exciting.
To ensure a smooth application process, it is essential that the "COMMENT" field in your ADIF log contains the corresponding CNPA designator for each contacted station, in the format of #AREA WW.XX.YY.ZZ, as specified in the official
CNPA list. This requirement is mandatory as it enables the manager's software to accurately verify your application.
