The AMSAT 51 on 51 Award new!
The AMSAT 51 on 51 Award is given to any station that makes contact with
51 different stations on AMSAT's newest satellite, AO-51, during the
year 2005. The award is designed to promote friendship, and encourage
contact with handheld and first-time satellite users. Applicants are
encouraged to include contacts with stations making their first
satellite contacts.
Contacts may be in any mode (Voice/Packet/PSK-31) and on any band (V/U,
V/S, L/S, L/U, H/U). To receive the award, you must submit your log
entries either electronically or by photocopy. Entries must indicate
date and time (UTC) of the contact, callsign and grid square of the
contacted station, and mode used. Only contacts made between 1 January,
2005 and 31 December, 2005 are eligible. Logbooks may be submitted until
30 April, 2006. QSL cards are not required, however logbooks may be
checked against other applicant's logs.
Production costs for this award have been underwritten by an anonymous
donor to honor Robin Haighton VE3FRH who served as AMSAT President
during the construction and launch of AO-51. Consequently all award fees
will be applied to the AMSAT Eagle fund.
The donation for the award is $10.00 (US Funds) and AMSAT members
receive a $5.00 discount. Award fees may be paid through the AMSAT
Online Store once you have received confirmation of eligibility from the
Director of Contests and Awards.
[ANS thanks Bruce, KK5DO for the above information]
