The Ultralight DXing Awards Committee is pleased to announce a new and
on-going Awards Program for the Ultralight MW DXing Community. The Program
is unique in several respects; first, it is the only Awards Program that is
restricted to MW DXing accomplishments achieved with commonly available,
inexpensive, entertainment-grade "Ultralight" pocket radios. Secondly, the
program is totally web-based. Applications for awards are accepted by
e-mail only and award certificates that are suitable for framing are distributed
to the recipients as printable digital image files. Thirdly, these
certificates feature digitally re-mastered images of some of the most remarkable
radio art from the first decade of broadcast radio.
The comprehensive Ultralight DX Awards Program features awards at various
levels for Stations Heard, U.S. States Heard, Canadian Provinces Heard, Latin
American Stations Heard, Trans-Atlantic Stations Heard, Trans-Pacific
Stations Heard, Countries Heard and Continents Heard. In each
category, when a DXer reaches beyond what is normally considered high
achievement, special "Master DXer" certificates are awarded; for instance,
in the Stations Heard category, certificates are available for stations heard at
the 100, 200, 300, etc. station levels. At 500 stations heard on an
Ultralight receiver, an extraordinary achievement, a "Master Ultralight DXer
Award" is conferred.
A complete description of the Ultralight DX Awards Program is available for
download from the Ultralight Files area at http://www.dxer.ca/ or directly from Rob Ross of
the Awards Committee at va3sw@...
If you have yet to experience the renewed thrill of DXing with an
inexpensive Ultralight receiver, we invite you to share the excitement and
satisfaction that comes from success in pocket radio DX. Emphasizing DXing
skill and knowledge over equipment innovation, Ultralight Radio DXing brings
special rewards in proportion to the special challenges-- and has restored the
original thrill of AM DXing to many radio enthusiasts. The Ultralight
Files area of dxer.ca has an extensive set of information and resources on the
many aspects of Ultralight Radios, and enthusiasts' activities. We hope
you will accept the challenge, join in the fun, and share in the rewards!

Hello Everybody,
Just as a point of clarification on this awards program, do all loggings have to be on the same receiver (e.g. SRF-59) or will all loggings from any approved ULR receiver count?
I have been tied up with RACES/ARES work for the last 4 months, and am looking forward to spending some quality time with both my SRF-59 and my SRF-39 (tnx to Gary) in the very near future.
And as a last open comment to Gary, since you are practically neighbors with Ward Silver N0AX, I think you should invite him over to enlighten him on our exploits.

Joe,
Any loggings on a recognized Ultralight count for Awards, etc....
If some loggings are on a Barefoot Ultralight and some on a modified
unit, you can either lump them all together for "Unlimited
Class" Awards or keep two separate lists.... one for Barefoot and
one for Unlimited. But.... if some are on an unmodified SRF-39 and others
are on an unmodified SRF-59. for instance, you're certainly allowed to
lump them all together in the Barefoot category.
Thanks for asking!
