Petr and others,  Mike is quite correct, but there are also some other
awards that the RSGB sponsor - one for 73kHz and another for 136kHz.  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.

These are both part of the awards scheme set up to commemorate
the work of Peter Bobek, DJ8WL, by the RSGB, DARC and AMRAD.

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
