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.

Maybe a silly question, but how many awards do we actually have for
trans-atlantic?
I saw a "Challenge" that John received, it is at:
http://www.g3wkl.freeserve.co.uk/lf/ve1zj.jpg
And there is another award which template I placed temporarily at:
http://www.sweb.cz/ok1fig/lfaward3r.jpg
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
