We have changed a look of the EPC European Areas (EU Areas) List. The list is based on the former and present administrative geography of European countries (depends on the country). Administrative geography concerns itself with the hierarchy of areas relating to national governments in Europe. This hierarchy is complicated for not only are there several layers but the structure is different in each European country. In addition the boundaries of many of the layers in the hierarchy are subject to periodic or occasional change. Each EU Area has a unique two-letter and two-numbers abbreviation based on its official English name. These are used along with the full EU Area name on the local language as well. Be aware that these abbreviations are not an official standard, sanctioned by any international body. They are intended for EPC awards and contests use. There are 1199 current entities in the list in total. Eventually this list will be updated to more accurate list in the near future. Contacts made to claim EU Areas are considered at the time of application. If the previously worked EU Area became a deleted entity, it will be counted under the new created EU Area depending on the location of the worked station. The EPC European Areas (EU Areas) can be seen at the EPC Award Series Section on our website.
