New Awards…..

K1024_M0OXO-NASPA-100

Pleased to receive a few new Awards this week from the European PSK Club after another blitz of operating in recent weeks.

I must try and concentrate on some RTTY work now as its my lowest score of the three modes I now operate (CW, SSB & RTTY).

Hope for a few new slots on CW this weekend in the CQWW CW Contest after managing C6 (Bahamas), 5C (Morocco) and ZA (Albania) this afternoon.

ZL8X (ZLFF-018) ‘All time new’ one bagged….

Raoul_Island

 


Huge pile-ups today on several bands as ZL8X made their first full day on the air. I was pleased to break the 20M CW pile up for an all time new one but not hearing them too well on SSB.

Anvil-shaped Raoul Island (Sunday Island), the largest and northernmost of the main Kermadec Islands, (located at 29°15’S 177°55’W, 900 km SSW of ‘Ata Island of Tonga and 1100 km NNE of New Zealand’s North Island), has been the source of vigorous volcanic activity during the past several thousand years that was dominated by dacitic explosive eruptions.

The area of the island, including fringing islets and rocks mainly in the northeast, but also a few smaller ones in the southeast, is 29.38 km². The highest elevation is Moumoukai peak, at an elevation of 516 m.

The Operation is set to last until December 5th. See their website here. Good luck!

European PSK Club

M0OXO-NASPA-100


The European PSK Club, or EPC for short, is an informal club of amateur radio operators dedicated to maintaining high levels of amateur radio communications on PSK modes. Its purpose is to promote activity and good operating practice on the PSK modes on all amateur bands. Membership is FREE for any licensed radio amateur, club or SWL. All of our managers serve on a voluntary basis. A high quality and colorful membership certificate in PDF format is sent via email to new members when membership is granted. Each new member is assigned a unique “EPC Number” which is retained for life. A EPC number is never re-issued and it is listed in the Membership Records forever. All EPC members are eligible to participate in various club’s activities and award programmes. Please pass this information to others you think might be interested in joining our club.

The following questions are most commonly asked by those interested in the EPC or by new members: (Or scroll down to get the PostHeaderIcon EPC General Rules)


M0OXO-SHPA-1000


What are the benefits in belonging to the European PSK Club?

The EPC is like any other HAM radio organization, a group of HAMs who are interested in promoting the PSK modes. In order to keep interest up on the PSK modes, the idea of collecting “EPC Numbers” has been developed. Personally, each member enjoys the camaraderie of kindred spirits, whether the activity is informal rag chewing or numbers chasing or a more formal EPC Contest. All EPC awards are issued in high quality PDF format and sent via email to the applicants. In an effort to make EPC Award Programme more affordable to PSK enthusiasts, we have provided EPC members the opportunity to get all awards FREE of charge.


K800_M0OXO-EPCRU-II


How do I join and where do I get my EPC number?

Any licensed amateur or club authorized to operate PSK modes or SWL can join EPC. There are no special requirements. Just fill in our EPC Membership Registration Form. We will assign you a EPC number and email it to you along with your membership certificate.


K800_M0OXO-CQPSK-20


What do I do with my EPC number now that I have received it?

You can exchange it with other EPC members (on PSK modes, of course) and keep a record of their number. We are issuing numerous awards for collecting EPC numbers. You can just give your number to others when asked for it. It is strictly up to you as to how involved you want to get in EPC and our Award Programme.

K800_M0OXO-EPCDL-SILVER


What happens to my EPC number if for some reason I lose interest in EPC?

Once you are issued a EPC number, it is yours for life. If you decide to not participate in EPC and our Award Programme, your number is still yours. You can still give it to other EPC members and you can still collect numbers yourself.

 

K1024_M0OXO-ESPANA-PIZARRO


What happens to my EPC number if I have changed my callsign?

Each EPC number is assigned to the callsign which you had at the registration process. It is never re-issued to another callsign, even if you have received a new one. Please note that if you have changed your callsign you have to apply for a new EPC number. There are no exceptions!

EPC Awards General Rules

1. Amateur radio is a hobby. It does not compete in terms of importance with one’s job, one’s safety, one’s health or wellbeing or that of one’s family. These after all are the important things in life. That said, how we spend our leisure time is critical to our happiness and quality of life.

2. The EPC international Award Programme was devised by the European PSK Club on 10th June 2006. The European PSK Club, or EPC for short, is an informal club of amateur radio operators dedicated to maintaining high levels of amateur radio communications on PSK modes. The EPC Award Programme’s aim is to improve and expand geographical knowledge of the sovereign states world-wide, and to encourage radio amateur activity from various corners of the World on PSK modes.

3. The EPC awards are issued to EPC members only. Any EPC award may be claimed by a licensed radio amateur, club station, or DMS (SWL) eligible under these Rules who can produce evidence in a form of ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format) log of having contacted or monitored amateur radio stations required for certain award on B(Q)PSK31, B(Q)PSK63, and B(Q)PSK125 modes, unless specifically stated otherwise. Credit will be given for contacts made on any of the amateur bands from 1.8 to 52 MHz.

4. Our recommended frequencies for EPC activity are listed in the EPC HF Band Plan. We would suggest to leave first 2 KHz on each band for BPSK31 contacts. The EPC has established this band plan as the way to better organize the use of our activity on PSK modes efficiently. To the extent possible, this band plan is harmonized with the IARU Regions band plans. It is suggested that EPC members promote it widely amongst each other. Please operate in accordance with your licensing conditions.

5. 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.

6. Unless specifically stated otherwise, confirmations from the DMS (SWL) stations 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 the EPC Award Programme, remote control operating points must also be land based.

7. 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 Programme. More difficult attained specialty awards are more likely to be so called. In some cases the award manager may request a QSL-card or its copy to verify a questionable QSO. 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 our award programme into disrepute may result in disqualification of the applicant from the award programme.

8. All claims for the EPC awards should be made using our UltimateEPC Award Management Software written by Heinz Urban, DK5UR. The award applicant should re-submit his application when claiming for higher classes of awards. The award manager will keep all your records in our database. Please make sure before you submit your ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format) log that you have checked it with the appropriate software.

9. All EPC awards are issued free of charge in a high quality PDF format, and can be downloaded from the applicant’s account at the EPC Member Centre. EPC awards can be printed with the highest quality and with optimal performance by applicants themselves. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the EPC executive award manager.


PostHeaderIcon EPC DX Areas Definition

PostAuthorIconWritten by EPC | PDF | Print | E-mail

EPC DX Areas Definition1. Continents. A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. In geography, they are identified by convention rather than any strict criterion, with seven regions commonly regarded as continents – they are (from largest to smallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Oceania. Accordingly the EPC DX Areas are grouped into seven continental groups – AS Areas, AF Areas, NA Areas, SA Areas, AN Areas, EU Areas, and OC Areas. The boundaries of these continental groups differ form the DXCC or WAC definitions.

2. Sovereign State. A sovereign state is a political association with effective internal and external sovereignty over a geographic area and population which is not dependent on, or subject to any other power or state. The sovereign state must be recognized by the United Nations Organization in respect to be classified for the EPC Award Programme.

3. Administrative Geography. Administrative geography concerns itself with the hierarchy of areas relating to national governments of the sovereign states world-wide. This hierarchy is complicated for not only are there several layers but the structure is different in each sovereign state. In addition the boundaries of many of the layers in the hierarchy are subject to periodic or occasional change.

4. DX Area Codes. The EPC Award Committee has defined a hierarchical set of DX Area Codes. Each DX Code consists of 3 x two-letter sequenced combinations. Be aware that these are not an official standard, sanctioned by any international body. They are intended for internal use within the EPC Award Programme.

4.1 ISO 3166 Standard. The first two-letter combination of the DX Area Code is based on either the two-letter Continent abbreviation or ISO 3166-1 two-letter country code (depends on the size of the Sovereign State and its administrative system). The ISO 3166-1 is part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and defines codes for the names of countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest. Each Sovereign State has a unique two-letter code, which is the same as its ISO 3166-1 code. Only a few territories with «exceptional» status do not fall under this rule, such as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta or the Spratly Archipelago. Such territories have specially created two-letter combinations instead of the official ISO 3166-1 two-letter country codes.

4.2 Primary Subdivision. The second two-letter combination of the DX Area Code is based on either the ISO 3166-1 two-letter country code or the primary subdivision of a sovereign state (depends on its size and administrative system). Each primary subdivision of a sovereign state has a two-letter code that is unique within its sovereign state. Most DX Areas are based on the primary subdivisions of sovereign states.

4.3 Secondary Subdivision. The third two-letter combination of the DX Area Code is based on the secondary or third subdivision of a sovereign state. Each secondary or third subdivision of a sovereign state has a code that is unique within its primary division. Therefore, by concatenating the codes, you can create a unique code for each subdivision listed. For example, EU.HR.BB represents County of Bjelovar and Bilogora (BB), in the Republic of Croatia (HR), in Europe (EU); DE.BW.RA represents County of Rastatt (RA), in the State of Baden-Württemberg (BW), in the Federal Republic of Germany (DE).

4.4 Artificially Created Subdivisions. Some DX Areas are based on the artificially created primary and/or secondary subdivisions. Most of island-consisted countries or territories fall under this rule, as well as some sovereign states with one level of the official subdivision, or where the second subdivision has too many small territorial units within the single primary subdivision. These arrangements are made entirely by the EPC Award Committee for the purposes of the EPC Award Programme.

4.5 Mnemonics. The two-letter combination codes are mnemonic. They consist of the first letter in the subdivision name, followed by a letter that occurs later in that name, unless it was impossible to assign unique codes by that rule. We intend to provide updates to these two-letter codes whenever geographical changes occur. We will create a new code in each case where a subdivision’s territorial extent changes, except for minor boundary adjustments. We will avoid reusing obsolete codes for as long as possible.

4.6 Exclusive and Exhaustive Concept. Primary divisions are exclusive and exhaustive within their sovereign state; secondary divisions are exclusive and exhaustive within their primary division, and so on. «Exclusive» means that no two divisions overlap; they have only boundary points in common, with an area of zero. «Exhaustive» means that the set of subdivisions completely covers the area being subdivided. For example, all of the townships and counties of the State of Baden-Württemberg, taken together, account for the entire territory of the State of Baden-Württemberg.

4.7 Listed Names. Each DX Area in the list is represented with its full English name along with the name on one or more local languages as well. When Latin or Cyrillic letters are not available the Latinized names are used.

5. DX Areas with «Exceptional» Status. Due to the specific location, special national or international status, some DX Areas have been defined with an «exceptional» status from the standard administrative geography mentioned above.

5.1 Special National Status. If there are cases where the official subdivisions don’t meet the requirements mentioned in the Section 4, we will modify them as needed. For example, the District of Brchko, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is technically not part of any subdivision of the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but belongs directly to the nation. We have artificially called it part of the same division as the whole State of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the «exceptional» Code EU.BA.BR.

5.2 Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta. The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta is a Roman Catholic order based in Rome (Italian Republic). The Order is a sovereign subject of international law. It has its own Government, an independent magistracy, bilateral diplomatic relations with 104 countries and is granted the status of Permanent Observer in many international organisations, such as the United Nations. Its two Headquarters in Rome, the Magistral Palace, and the Villa of the Priory of Malta, are granted extraterritoriality. These two headquarters have «exceptional» status in the DX Areas List.

5.3 United Nations Organization. The United Nations Organization (UNO) or simply United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are facilitating cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and the achieving of world peace. The United Nations amateur call signs commence with 4U prefix. The DX Areas based on the three Principal Offices of the United Nations Organization and its Headquarters have «exceptional» status.

5.4 Remote Islands. Some «exceptional» DX Areas are based on remotely located islands. They have been assigned with «exceptional» status due to their specific remote location or special status within the sovereign state. A good example is Clipperton Island (French Republic) or Jan Mayen Island (Kingdom of Norway).

5.5 Disputed Territories. Some DX Areas with «exceptional» status are based on the disputed territories. A territorial dispute is a disagreement over the possession or control of land between two or more sovereign states, or over the possession or control of land by one sovereign state after it has conquered it from a former state no longer currently recognized by the occupying power. A good example is the Spratly Archipelago in the South China Sea.

5.6 Antarctica. The DX Areas list of Antarctica is based on the geographical lands, sectors, and islands within the Antarctic Treaty Area, that is all areas between 60° and 90° of latitude South. All Antarctic DX Areas have «exceptional» status. Antarctica has no «permanent population» and hence no citizenship or government. All personnel present on Antarctica at any time are citizens or nationals of some sovereignty outside of Antarctica, as there is no Antarctic sovereignty. The majority of Antarctica is claimed by one or more countries, but most countries do not explicitly recognize those claims. There is a cross-reference table with the most completed list of camps, depots, huts, refuges, research stations, and other man-made permanent or historical facilities.

5.7 Occupied Territories. Occupied territory is a territory under military occupation. Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army. The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised. At the end of a war, usually the victorious side is in possession of territory previously possessed by another sovereign state. This territory is known as occupied territory. Acquisition of occupied territory is incidental to a war, where the military forces of the occupying power come into the possession of territory previously held by another sovereign state. The Occupied Territories are not recognized by the EPC Award Committee, therefore no one DX Area is based on such territory.

5.8 Unrecognized States. Several of the world’s geo-political entities lack general international recognition, but wish to be recognized as sovereign states. The degree of de facto control these entities exert over the territories they claim varies. Most are subnational regions with an ethnic or national identity of their own that have «broken off» (i.e. separated themselves) from their original parent state, and hence they are commonly referred to as «break-away» states. Some of these entities are in effect internally self-governing protectorates that enjoy military protection and informal diplomatic representation abroad through another state to prevent forced reincorporation into their original states. The EPC Award Committee will recognize a new created sovereign state only in case when the sovereign state has been assigned an official call sign prefix bloc by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

6. Deleted Entities. Contacts made to claim DX Areas are considered at the time of application. If the previously worked DX Area became a deleted entity, it will be counted under the new created DX Area depending on the location of the worked station.

LET’S SAVE THE GREEN PLANET EARTH”

…Tnx again to my dear friend Jurij MM0DFV for his
help in managing this Award!

New Zone 19 record….

uu5maf

New QSO/hour record was set up in the last CQ WW SSB Contest 2010 by Vladislav Sitnikov, UU5MAF, operated at RC0F.

Vladislav managed to score 322 QSO during one hour!!! Soon, his result will placed in ‘the best QSO rates in Contests’ table at http://www.qsl.net/oh1noa/rates.htm

Vladislav is the only contester from Russia and Ukraine to achieve such a high score. Also, in this contest Vladislav claimed for new 19 Zone record. Once again, I’d like to mention that this result was scored from the Sakhalin Island, and it will be the only result from Asia.

Vladislav operated from Gennady, R0FA, ex UA0FAI station, with quite a simple setup. 4 elements SteppIR, Optibeam 4030, FT2000 and Acom 2000 PA.

Well done Vladimir!!
