Amateur Radio's 'Waffle Award' is back!

The special activity operating certificate, known as the Welcome Aussie Foundation Licensees or 'Waffle' award, is available again after its initial debut that ended early this year.

The rules have not been changed:
For VK stations, make 50 contacts with Australian Foundation Stations, while DX stations need at least 10.
Any contact since November 2005 is valid.

Contact with the same Foundation callsign is permitted, provided this does not occur on the same day, unless on more than one frequency band. Repeater and IRLP contacts fall within the spirit of this award as they require use of
ham radio at each end of a contact.

Claims should include a log extract for the required contacts, plus payment of $5, and be sent to Waffle Award, Amateur Radio Victoria, 40g Victory Boulevard, Ashburton 3147, Victoria, Australia.

Amateur Radio Victoria, which is making this operating award available, will keep it active until the F-Troop Photo Call at the Centre Victoria RadioFest on the 10th February 2008.
