NEW NOVICE/TECH ACTIVITY AWARDS

To encourage operating activity on the Novice/Tech portions of the CW bands, FISTS is offering two new awards. Here are the rules for the new awards:

One operating achievement award is ONLY for Novice/Techs who work 25 FISTS members of any license class in the Novice/Tech parts of the band (CW, of course). The Novice/Tech does not have to be a FISTS member.

The second one is for FISTS members (General and higher) who work 50 points of Novice/Techs in the Novice/Tech CWsubbands. N/T’s who are FISTS are worth 2 points, non-FISTS N/T’s are worth 1 point.

Basic info will be required for the contacts to be legit, including the date, band, RST, name, QTH, Call worked, license class and FISTS number, if applicable. The starting date for this award is MAY 18, 2009. Mail logs to: Award Manager, Dennis K6DF.  Non-FISTS and those with FISTS number who are not current with their dues please include $3 for expenses. The awards are free for members in good standing.
