The Centenary Award was created to stimulate operating through the Centenary year and introduce amateurs to some of the RSGB operating awards.\u00a0 Separate awards are available for HF and VHF\/UHF operating, and each is offered at a Basic and Gold level of achievement.\u00a0 For each award the bulk of the qualifying contacts are made up from general contacts, but each award requires a minimum number of contacts with the Centenary station on a region\/band basis.<\/p>\n
The Awards are offered in four categories, a Basic and an Advance award for both the VHF\/UHF bands and the HF Bands. Each award requires you to work the Gx100RSGB Special Event Stations (SES) in a given number of RSGB Regions\/Bands. Each contact with the SES per Region and Band counts. There are a total of 13 RSGB Regions.<\/p>\n
The Award requirements have been set as follows:<\/p>\n
In addition to the above minimum number of contacts with the SES on a Regional\/Band basis each award requires you to gain a number of points which are collected by working other stations. Points are available as follows:<\/p>\n
So, your first contact with a UK station on VHF will give you 1 for the UK IOTA, 1 for the UK DXCC and 1 for the Locator Square = 3 points. Work the same station on another band and that is another 3 points. Work another station in the same IOTA and DXCC but a different Locator = 1 point. Work that station again on another band and you have another point.<\/p>\n
This may seem a little complicated but once you have made a few contacts it will all become very clear. A\u00a0Check Sheet<\/a>\u00a0will be available to record and track your contacts, and a\u00a0Claim Form<\/a>is available to submit your application.<\/p>\n The Awards are available for SWLs\u2014where the rules below stipulate contacts please read as reception reports for SWL claims.<\/p>\n Single band entries will be accepted providing the applicant makes the required point totals. All entrants can use either multi-mode or single according to choice and certificates will be endorsed accordingly. Note that 60m and bands at 23cm and above are excluded from the challenge.<\/p>\n Note that no QSL card confirmations are required for any of the awards.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Centenary Award was created to stimulate operating through the Centenary year and introduce amateurs to some of the RSGB operating awards.\u00a0 Separate awards are available for HF and VHF\/UHF operating, and each is offered at a Basic and Gold level of achievement.\u00a0 For each award the bulk of the qualifying contacts are made up […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":4808,"menu_order":11,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4806","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4806\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Requirements for the Awards<\/h2>\n
