BENELUX - Benelux PSK Award Series
The Benelux PSK Award Series (BENELUX) was devised by the European PSK Club (EPC) on 9th April 2009. This was to sponsor a series of PSK
awards for contacts with EPC members from various EU Areas of the
Benelux. The Benelux is a union in Western Europe that comprises three
neighbouring countries, Belgium (ON), the Netherlands (PA), and
Luxembourg (LX).

III, BENELUX II, and BENELUX I awards may be claimed by any licensed
radio amateur, club station or DMS/SWL eligible under these Rules who
can produce evidence in a form of ADIF log of having
contacted/monitored EPC members from 15, 20, and 25 EU Areas of the
Benelux respectively at the time of application on B(Q)PSK31,
B(Q)PSK63, and B(Q)PSK125 modes. Credit will be given for contacts made
on any of the amateur bands below 30 MHz. Each EU Area counts only
once. Contacts are valid on or after 10th June 2006. The award manager

. 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 BENELUX 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 BENELUX 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. |
