UKPA AWARD RULES

The United Kingdom PSK Award Series (UKPA) was devised by the European PSK Club on 16th September 2007. This was to sponsor a series of PSK awards based on the administrative geography of the United Kingdom. Any UK 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 the United Kingdom 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 with EPC members only, on or after 10th June 2006.

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.

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 with the highest quality and with optimal performance by applicants themselves. UK PSK Awards are issued to the EPC members only.
