The newly formed North American QRP CW Club is sponsoring a new award
for the coming year. Since 2005 is a mere three weeks away; now is a
good time for all you folks begin thinking about it.
The award is "The QSO a Day Award"; and it's purpose is to increase QRP
CW activity on the air waves.
The goal is simple to remember - make at least one QRP CW QSO a day -
every day! You can earn a certificate for doing this for at least one
month; or string 'em all together and do it for a full year! There are
twelve different classes of awards that will be issued.
The criteria are:
A ham can only earn one of the 12 classes of the award.
A QSO is defined as a legitimate contact with another amateur station
whether it be a long rag chew or a quick signal report exchange in a
contest or with a DX station.
All QSO's must be made using CW at QRP power levels, i.e. 5 watts or
less transmitter output.
None of the QSO's may come from a pre-arranged schedule with another ham.
None of the QSO's may come from a net of any kind.
For classes 2A through 3B, the months do not have to be consecutive.
A day is defined as 0000-2400 UTC.
A QSO may only count for one day, i.e. a QSO that starts at 2355 UTC on
March 4th and ends at 0010 UTC on March 5th only counts as a QSO for
March 4th. In other words the starting time of a QSO determines for
which day a QSO counts.
