The
Portuguese PSK Award Series (PTPA) was devised by the European PSK Club
on 11th April 2008. This was to sponsor a series of PSK awards based on
the administrative geography of Portugal. Any award in this series 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 Portugal on PSK modes. Contacts with EPC
members count on or after 10th June 2006. The award manager is João
Manuel Luz Silva Coelho, CT1BWUThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
. 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 can be printed with the highest
quality and with optimal performance by applicants themselves. The
Portuguese PSK Awards are issued to the EPC members only. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the award manager. PTPA Portuguese PSK Award The
