SKCC Worked All States
Award Take
a grand tour of the United States without ever leaving your operating
desk with the SKCC's Worked All States Award! It's open to all members.
Many members choose to start with the basic WAS award. Others tackle it
with a specific endorsement in mind: single-band, QRP, and
WAS-Centurion. Your call.
Here are the basic rules, common to each
of the WAS "flavors":
1. An operator must submit and the award manager must approve and publicly proclaim acceptance of an application showing contacts in which the operator has exchanged names and SKCC numbers with another SKCC member in each of the 50 states. Contacts may be made at any time and on any band, including WARC bands. 2. An operator applying for the award must be an SKCC member at the time each qualifying contact is made. 3. All contacts must be made with a straight key, semi-automatic key (bug), or sideswipper (cootie). The use of electronic keyers or computer-generated code is prohibited unless the award applicant holds an SKCC waiver. Available endorsements
Single-band endorsements
As the name implies, operators can earn a WAS for meeting the above requirements on any individual amateur-radio band. Single-band endorsements also can be applied to each of the following additional endorsements. WAS-Centurion To qualify, an applicant must meet the basic requirements as well as the following: 1. Each of the contacts must be with either a Centurion or Tribune in each of the 50 states. A member does not have to be a Centurion or Tribune to qualify for this award. 2. Only contacts made on or after June 12, 2011, qualify for this endorsement. 3. Contacts with Centurions or Tribunes operating outside their home states, either as portable or mobile stations, are permitted. Centurions and Tribunes are strongly encouraged to use their Cs and Ts at the end of their member numbers during operating events to make it easier for prospective WAS-Centurion applicants to zero in on the states they need. Applicants are encouraged to copy the other station's state carefully, since Rule 3 implies that the state you hear W9OMG give you may be different from the state listed for that call in the membership data base. WAS-QRP To qualify, an applicant must meet the basic requirements using transmitter output power levels of 5 watts or less. For questions about the WAS award program, email Urb LeJeune. For WAS-Centurion information, contact Russ Halbert, K0LUW. You can download an award application here. Go for them, folks! |
