ITUPSK - ITU Zones (Land Based) PSK Awards
The ITU PSK Award (Land Based) Series was devised by the European PSK Club on 25th May 2007 (Idea DK5UR). This was designed to encourage contacts with various ITU Zones
on PSK modes. ITUPSK-19 (Meteorite Award), ITUPSK-38 (Mountain Award),
ITUPSK-57 (Old Tree Award) and ITUPSK-75 (Volcano Award) 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 19, 38, 57 and 75 different ITU (land based) zones
respectively at the time of application by using any PSK mode. EPC
membership is required for the ITU PSK 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 54 MHz. Confirmations from the EPC Short Wave
Listeners and Digital Monitoring Stations are accepted as confirmed
contacts. All stations contacted must be "land based 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 ITU PSK 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. ![](http://www.eu.srars.org/awards/itupsk/ITUPSK-19.jpg) 19 ITU Zones - Meteorite Award |
