Elecraft Awards Program

[Larry Makoski W2LJ]

I should post this more often as Wayne and Eric are like the Pied
Piper.  There are more and more new Elecrafters joining the "family"
every day; and I forget that a lot of the newer members are not aware of
the Elecraft Awards Program.

The basic info is that there are currently six awards that you can work
towards using your Elecraft rig.

The easiest is the Elecraft Ragchewer's Award.  Use your KX-1, K1 or K2
and have a QSO that last longer than 30 minutes; and you qualify.  How
easy is that?

The Elecraft Century Club.  You earn this by using your Elecraft rig to
have QSOs with 100 different other Elecrafters who are using their
Elecraft rigs.  You keep track of their callsign, rig model and serial
number.

The Elecraft Worked All States Award.  Work all 50 United States using
your Elecraft rig.

The 50 in 50 Award.  This is the Elecraft Worked All States Award on
steroids.  Work all 50 United States; but this time each Ham that you
are QSOing with must be using an Elecraft rig.  Only one amateur, KØZK
has earned this award so far.  How long will it take to issue
certificate number 2?  It's been 15 months so far!

The DX Chaser Award - submit proof (log) of having worked 100 or more
different DXCC entities using your Elecraft rig.
Endorsements will be made for 200, 300 and ultimately "Honor Roll" status.

The 100 in 100 Award.  This is the DX Chaser Award pumped up.  Work 100
DXCC entities; but this time the Ham you have QSOed with must have been
using an Elecraft rig, also.  This award will probably be the ultimate
and the hardest to achieve ..... for now.  But I have a feeling that as
we give Wayne and Eric more and more time to sell more Elecraft
transceivers around the world; that this pinnacle will be reached sooner
rather than later!

73 es good DX!
