International Marconi Day – Award Classes

Period of Operation on 22nd April 2017

0000 UTC  to 2359 UTC

As in previous years the event will run for a full 24 hours with contacts made on HF only counting towards the award. All modes of radio communication are accepted towards the award and are actively encouraged.

Please note that VHF, UHF, internet modes such as Echolink and Digital Voice modes will not count towards the award for IMD.

The Certificates are of a very high quality and are well worth obtaining to display on the wall of any Shack. They are based on an original Marconi Stock Certificate Circa 1901.

 

Please Note: Any stations worked that are NOT on the registered list of participants will NOT count towards the award.

There are now only 2 categories:

  1. TRANSMITTING AMATEUR

To establish direct two-way communication with 15 of the official Award Stations, mixed modes are permitted.

  1. SHORTWAVE LISTENERS

To log two-way communications made by 15 of the official Award Stations, mixed modes are permitted.

Award for Listeners Class

As in previous years, it is suggested that transmitting amateur stations should log all two-way contacts heard between IMD award stations and other stations. Even if they fail to establish contact with the stations themselves, it will still be possible to claim the SWL award using a combination of heard and worked contacts. Nice touch to have both types of certificate on the shack wall too.

The Cornish Radio Amateur Club offers two special Award Certificates for working authorised International Marconi Day Award Stations: one is for Transmitting Stations and the other for Short Wave Listeners.

Your Award claim should state the Award Category claimed, and must be made in writing giving a FULL extract of your log together with your callsign and address (often forgotten !). The log extract may be a certified copy of the original log or a certified computer print out. Ideally, another amateur should certify that your log extract represents a true copy of the original log entries: if no other amateur is available, an adult signatory will be accepted.

Please post your claim to:
