New Amateur Radio Award for 2007
The Scouting 100 Radio Award is awarded for
contacting Scout stations during 2007, the Centenary year of Scouting.
This is an International award - it is also available on a listener basis,
with the same requirements as the operator award.
Objective:
To help celebrate the centenary of Scouting through the medium of radio.
To help publicise the Centenary, and to provide radio amateurs the opportunity
of gaining another Award. Although not intended for profit, any surplus
made will go to support Radio Scouting in developing countries.
Duration:
The Award will begin at 00:00:01 on January 1st 2007 and finish at 23:59:59
December 31st 2007.
Bands and Modes:
The Award is available through all bands and all modes, within the terms
of the individual’s radio licence. The Award is also available through
Echolink and IRLP modes.
The Award can be endorsed for any special modes or bands ie ‘All
satellite contacts’; ‘all QRP contacts’ etc.
Activity for the Award should be focused around the Scout frequencies.
Requirements:
Stations are required to contact Scout and Guide stations to count for
points as follows:
Each ordinary Scout station counts one point. Special Event Scout stations
count 2 points. The World Jamboree, Gilwell Park and Brownsea Island stations
count 5 points.
Your logs should be verified as accurate by 2 other local radio amateurs.
Normal log information is required with the following additional information:
Name, Scout details and age of the operator of the station you contact.
Your age should also be submitted when applying for Awards.
Female operators send ‘YL’ as their age!
You can claim points for contacting Scouts stations regardless of the
callsign you are operating from...
So if you are operating a club station, then the points still count for
your total. Please note: only the person operating can claim the points
for that contact, not everyone within earshot!
Website:
The Award is supported online by a website - full details of the award
are available there.
An Honour Roll of Award holders will also be published on the website.
