FT8DMC ACTIVITY WEEKS 10th-24th AUGUST 2019

In August 2019, a number of Special Event Stations will be on the air during
the FT8DMC activity weeks from 10-24. August.

All stations will be signing the FTDMC or FTDM suffix, referring to the 2nd Anniversary of the FT8 Digital Mode Club.

A special QSL card will confirm all QSO’s.

An FTDMC Anniversary Award will be available.

By working the FTDMC and FTDM stations, points can be collected for various levels of the Award.

The Award will be issued in four different classes:

Bronze: 10 FT8 QSO’s with at least 3 different special 'FTDMC/FTDM' stations
Silver: 15 FT8 QSO’s with at least 4 different special 'FTDMC/FTDM' stations
Gold: 20 FT8 QSO’s with at least 5 different special 'FTDMC/FTDM' stations
Platinum: 30 FT8 QSO’s with all activated 'FTDMC/FTDM' stations.

Please note, that working the same station on the same band in the same mode is considered a 'dupe' QSO and will not count for the award.

The award will be available free in a digital format.

How to obtain this award?

Use UAAC software (https://epc-mc.eu/index.php?lang=en) for the application.
