General Rules

The Phase Awards was devised by the European PSK Club on 4th September 2006. This was to sponsor a series of DX awards based on the DXCC countries list (there are 337 current entities in total). Phase 50, Phase 100, Phase 150, Phase 200, Phase 250 and Phase 300 Awards may be claimed by any licensed radio amateur, club station or SWL eligible under these rules who can produce evidence in a form of ADIF log of having contacted 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 current DXCC entities respectively at the time of application by using BPSK31 mode. Deleted entities don't count for these awards. EPC membership is required for Phase award applicants. All contacts must be made since January 1, 2000.

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. Confirmations from the EPC Short Wave Listeners are accepted as confirmed contacts. All stations contacted must be "land stations." Contacts with ships and boats, anchored or underway, and airborne aircraft, cannot be counted. For the purposes of this award, remote control operating points must also be land based. Exception: Permanently docked exhibition ships, such as the Queen Mary and other historic ships will be considered land based.

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 could be printed then with the highest quality and with optimal performance by applicants themselves. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
