General Rules The
Phase Awards was devised by the European PSK Club on 4th September
2006. This was to sponsor a series of DX awards based on the DXCC
countries list (there are 337 current entities in total). Phase 50,
Phase 100, Phase 150, Phase 200, Phase 250 and Phase 300 Awards may be
claimed by any licensed radio amateur, club station or SWL eligible
under these rules who can produce evidence in a form of ADIF log of
having contacted 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 current DXCC entities
respectively at the time of application by using BPSK31 mode. Deleted
entities don't count for these awards. EPC membership is required for
Phase award applicants. All contacts must be made since January 1, 2000. QSL-cards
are not required. Awards are issued to the person or club. The person
or club can use any legal call sign. Contacts made from club stations
or special event stations count to the credit of both the club and the
operator. All stations must be operated in accordance with their
licensing conditions. Contacts may be made from any location in the
same DXCC country. Credit will be given for contacts made on any of the
amateur bands below 30 MHz. Confirmations from the EPC Short Wave
Listeners are accepted as confirmed contacts. All stations contacted
must be "land stations." Contacts with ships and boats, anchored or
underway, and airborne aircraft, cannot be counted. For the purposes of
this award, remote control operating points must also be land based.
Exception: Permanently docked exhibition ships, such as the Queen Mary
and other historic ships will be considered land based. The
submission for credit of any altered or forged log extractions or,
equally, bad behaviour on or off the air which is judged by the
European PSK Club to bring a particular programme into disrepute may
result in disqualification of the applicant from the Award Programme.
The decision of the award manager on this and other matters of dispute
will be finals. All awards are issued FREE of
charge in a high quality PDF format and sent via email to the
applicants. Awards could be printed then with the highest quality and
with optimal performance by applicants themselves. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Application Procedure Since 1st June 2008 all claims for the EPC awards should be made using our UltimateEPC Award Management Software
written by DK5UR. The award applicant should re-submit his application
when claiming for higher classes of awards. The award manager will keep
all your records in our database. Please make sure before you submit
your ADIF log that you have checked it with the appropriate software. |
