CHAPTER 119
|
Worked All U.S. Call Areas Award
Sponsored by: QCWA Chapter 119, Inc. Objective. This award is established to encourage newly licensed amateur radio operators to become active in High Frequency (HF) amateur radio activity. The award provides an achievement goal for the new operator, or any operator beginning to explore the HF bands. The activity provides an opportunity to gain skill in HF operations. Because operators with beginning licenses have limited access to the amateur radio bands on 160 through 10 meters, provisions have been established in this award to permit HF operation under the guidance of a mentor, or Elmer, who can, if necessary, act as a control operator providing assistance in on-the-air operating. Becoming involved in HF operations will assist the new amateur operator to gain operating skills and to earn higher classes of license with increased operating privileges. Earning this award marks a significant step in advancing into the mainstream of amateur radio operations. Award. To advance this stated objective a certificate award is available to any amateur radio operator who makes two-way contact with other amateur radio operators on any of the amateur radio band in each of the ten call areas of the United States. Contacts may be made using any mode (CW, SSB, Digital) on any HF frequency (160 through 10 meters) permitted by the class of operator license held by the individual making application. If the applicant is operating with a control operator, then the applicant may use any frequency legal to the control operator. The control operator must validate the contact with initials and call sign. (See application form) Application .
