The EPC Club Stations Award Series (ECSA) was devised by the European PSK Club on 30th December 2007. This was to sponsor a series of PSK awards to promote the official EPC Club Stations activity. ECSA Class VI, ECSA Class V, ECSA Class IV, ECSA Class III, ECSA Class II, and ECSA Class I awards may be claimed by any EPC member (either licensed radio amateur, club station, SWL, or DMS) eligible under these Rules who can produce evidence in a form of ADIF log of having contacted or monitored the EPC Club Stations with 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 points collection respectively as explained below. Accepted PSK modes are B(Q)PSK31, B(Q)PSK63, and B(Q)PSK125. Credit will be given for contacts made on any of the amateur bands below 440 MHz. Contacts are valid on or after 18th October 2006.

Each contact is worth 2 points. A multiplier of 1 (one) is for each different EU Area activated by the European EPC club station, or for each different Maidenhead Grid Square (indicated by two letters and two numbers) activated by the Non-European EPC club station. The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of EU Area and Non-European Grid Square multipliers. Each EPC club station counts only once per each activated EU Area or Non-European Grid Square.

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. Confirmations from the DMS/SWL stations are accepted as confirmed contacts.

The award manager reserves the right to spot call sign for inspection of applied contacts. The purpose of this is not to call into question the integrity of any individual, but rather to ensure the overall integrity of the EPC award program. More difficult attained specialty awards are more likely to be so called. Failure of the applicant to respond to such spot check will result in non-issuance of the EPC award. The decision of the award manager on this and other matters of dispute will be finals. 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.

All awards are issued FREE of charge in a high quality PDF format and sent via email to the applicants. Awards can be printed with the highest quality and with optimal performance by applicants themselves. The ECSA Award Series is issued to the EPC members only. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the award manager.
