The Czech PSK Award Series (CZPA) was devised by the European PSK Club on 1st August 2007. This was to sponsor a series of PSK awards based on the administrative geography of Czech Republic. Any Czech PSK Award may be claimed by any licensed radio amateur, club station or DMS/SWL eligible under these rules who can produce evidence of having contacted/monitored amateur radio stations in Czech Republic by using PSK modes. All claims must be submitted in an appropriate application form listed on the EPC website. All awards can be claimed as Activated as well as Worked. Contacts count on or after 10th June 2006 with EPC members only. 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 54 MHz.
