The Overseas France PSK Award Series (OFA) was devised by the European PSK Club (EPC) on 10th February 2009. This was to sponsor a series of PSK
awards for contacts with amateur radio stations from the French
Overseas Departments and Territories. The French Overseas Departments
and Territories include island territories in the Atlantic, Pacific and
Indian oceans, a territory on the South American coast, and several
peri-Antarctic islands as well as an extensive claim in Antarctica.

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. Confirmations from the DMS/SWL stations 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.
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 award
manager reserves the right to spot call sign for inspection of applied
contacts. The purpose of this is not to call into question the
integrity of any individual, but rather to ensure the overall integrity
of the EPC award program. More difficult attained specialty awards are
more likely to be so called. Failure of the applicant to respond to
such spot check will result in non-issuance of the EPC award. 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 can be
printed with the highest quality and with optimal performance by
applicants themselves. The OFA Award Series is issued to the EPC
members only. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact the award manager.
Application Procedure
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.

Сообщение
Уважаемые участники European PSK Club. К организаторам работы украинской секции - "ЕРС Ukraine" поступают предложения об изменении положения нашего EPC Ukraine DX Contest. Сложно искать спонсоров. Появились другие виды цифровой связи. В этом 2019 году у всех нас будет "проверка на живучесть" нашего теста. Стоит ли проводить его в том же формате в следующем году?
Ваши предложения жду e-mail UR3LTD@ukr.net
Андрей Помазов
Предлагайте, участвуйте в обсуждении. Организаторы сделают всё возможное, чтобы наши мероприятия были интересными и увлекательными.
Огромная Вам благодарность за оказанную поддержку ЕРС-Ukraine.
