These along with details of the RSGB, DARC and AMRAD Transatlantic Challenge are detailed along with the other RSGB HF Awards at http://www.g3wkl.freeserve.co.uk/awards/hf_awards_index.html Just in case people are curious, LF is supported and encouraged by the HF Committee. That committee deals with matters below 30MHz - maybe with all the activity on 136kHz we ought to get the committee remaned! I would encourage all who can qualify for these awards to contact the HF Awards Manager, as detailed. For those outside, but near enough to the UK that there is a reception award for 73kHz amateur signals - it would be good to encourage more activity and understanding of propagation on this band before we loose it.

Briefly, awards are for: 1) The first reception of a transatlantic signal (VE1ZJ) 2) The first two-way contact (not yet awarded) 3) The holders of the best DX - whether transatlantic or not - at two points each year (last time it was you and Jack) Any enquiries should go to John Gould, G3WKL g3wkl@btinternet.com Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.lf.thersgb.net
