I was curious about the number of 5BDXCC awards and ran across this notice concerning W1AW making 5BDXCC on April 3, 2012. Their nemesis was also 80 Meters. Suddenly I feel much better. My plaque is on order now.
W1AW Claims 5BDXCC
Nearly four decades after the introduction of the Five Band DXCC Award (5BDXCC), W1AW, the Hiram Percy Maxim Station has achieved this milestone. “As with most stations, we found that 80 meters was our stumbling block,” W1AW Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, explained. “One by one, we picked off the needed entities, and W1AW now holds 5BDXCC #7307. W1AW’s 5BDXCC plaque will hang in a place of honor at the station.”
Dear sir, please tell me if you know of any web page or PDF file with the list of all ham radio that have the 5BDXCC award. Thank you very much in advance

All the 5BDXCC award records, issued for about 75 years, exist only on paper! Makes sense since the award predates computers. A list of all holders has never been published according to the ARRL.
Over its first 75 years the award was earned at a rate of about 9 a month. Recently, despite bad band conditions, that rate has increased to about 24 awards issued per month. The most recent award is #9,492, issued on October 7th, 2019.
