The European Union PSK Award Series (EUROPA) was devised by the European PSK Club on 22nd January 2008. This was designed to encourage PSK contacts with EPC members from various countries of the European Union. EUROPA 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 EPC members from at least 25 countries according to the requirements listed below. EPC membership is required for the EUROPA award applicants. All contacts must be made on PSK modes since June 10, 2006. Award manager is Reinhard Lipkow, DK1IO. The award requirements are based on the amount of inhabitants in each country.

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 430 MHz. Confirmations from the EPC Short Wave Listeners and Digital Monitoring Stations are accepted as confirmed contacts.

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 EUROPA 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 with the highest quality and with optimal performance by applicants themselves. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
