AUPA - Austrian PSK Award
The Austrian PSK Award Series (AUPA) was
devised by the European PSK Club on 11th August 2007. This was to
sponsor a series of PSK awards based on the administrative geography of
Austria. Any Austrian PSK Award may be claimed by any licensed radio
amateur, club station or DMS/SWL eligible under these rules who can
produce evidence of having contacted/monitored amateur radio stations
in Austria by using PSK modes. All claims must be submitted in an
appropriate application form listed on the EPC website. All awards can
be claimed as Activated as well as Worked. Contacts count on or after 10th June 2006. 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 54 MHz. 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 with the highest
quality and with optimal performance by applicants themselves. Austrian
PSK Awards are issued to the EPC members only. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. The AUPA Bronze

Award Series General Rules listed above who can produce evidence in a
form of ADIF log of having contacted 3 EU Areas within Austria by using any type of the Phase Shift Keying. The applicant should earn 50 points
for contacts with Austrian stations. Each contact with EPC member is
