BEPA - Belgian PSK Awards
The
Belgian PSK Award Series was devised by the European PSK Club on 18th
August 2006. This was to sponsor a series of PSK awards based on the
administrative geography of Belgium. Any Belgian award may be claimed
by any licensed radio amateur, club station or SWL eligible under these
rules who can produce evidence of having contacted/heard amateur radio
stations in Belgium 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 with EPC
members 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 30 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 then with the highest quality and with optimal
performance by applicants themselves. Belgian awards are issued to the
EPC members only. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
