 Digital Modes Added Along with New Bands
(Hicksville, NY, Feb. 14, 2008) -- CQ magazine and WPX Awards Manager Steve Bolia, N8BJQ, have announced several changes to the WPX Award program in response to feedback from program participants. The changes, effective immediately, add new bands and create a new Digital WPX Award.
Under the new rules, contacts on all bands between 160 and 6 meters will count for WPX award credit. In addition, new band endorsements will now be available for 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 18 MHz, 24 MHz and 50 MHz contacts. A separate Digital WPX Award has also been added, for contacts made on RTTY, PSK and other keyboard modes, with 300 confirmed prefixes required for the basic level of the award. Digital-mode contacts will also count toward the existing Mixed award, as will those prefixes worked on the newly added bands.
Details on these and other changes will be published in the March 2008 issue of CQ magazine and are posted along with the March issue highlights on the CQ magazine website at http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com.
The WPX Award Program recognizes amateurs for making confirmed contacts with the many callsign prefixes used by radio amateurs around the world. Top achievers are eligible for the WPX Honor Roll and the WPX Award of Excellence. General information and complete rules are available on the CQ website at http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/awards.html.
CQ magazine sponsors a variety of operating awards and on-air competitions to encourage amateur radio operators to sharpen their operating skills and to recognize those reaching high levels of achievement.
Special Note: It should be noted that TARA has offered their "Digital Prefix Awards" for quite awhile now and we'd encourage each of you to take a peek at what we offer. These awards are NOT easy to obtain and you'll need to work very hard to get yours. TARA felt that achievements like these need to be honored and that's why we began offering what we feel are set of awards that are very destinguished. Awards that you'll be more than proud to display in your shack.
Please, take a peek at our complete line of Digital Awards at our web site:
