--------------------------------------------------------
April 18, 2018 3 more awards added today. 1. Annual Short - 100th Year of Poland's independence. 2. Very Short - Denmark. European Ice Hockey honored in May. 3. Very Short - Russia - A relatively short time award (4 days). Not WWII, but the whole range of castles going well back into Russia's history. -------------------------------------------------------- April 20, 2018 3 added today. 1. Very Short - 65th Anniversary DARC Mecklenburg. 2. Annual Short - 25th Anniversary of the Thracian Rose Club. This is a contest/DX club which is active in the big contests plus encouraging awards activity. 3. Annual Short - It took a long time for the rules to be finalized. Now we have many OE100XYZ celebrating the 100th anniversary of WWI and the country changes that the Versailles Treaty brought to Europe. -------------------------------------------------------- April 22, 2018 3 added today. 1 Permanent - Austria - Worked all CQA-Zone 15 award. A good one for the beginner. 2. Permanent - Russia - Battle on the Ice. (776 years ago!) 3. VERY SHORT - 1000 Miglia Storica Award. A classical Auto Racing event starting in the 1920's. Some good pictures of EU classic motor vehicles. -------------------------------------------------------- NEWS: The ISRAEL special event stations (4X70L for example) heard for first time this afternoon. From the pileup, it looks like their 70th anniversary of ham radio in Israel is a winner. -------------------------------------------------------- |
Organization of the files for this site:
------------------------------------- There are many ways to provide information about awards. I have chosen to show the rules into separate files: Very Short Annual/Short Long Term 1. Very short data lives briefly, from a few days to a few months. 2. Annual/Short awards provide rules that cover more than a few months, and up to a year. Then they disappear. 3. Long term is just that. Forever, perhaps, but designed for long term usage, well over a year. Info (with exception of permanent awards) are listed in random order on those pages that show rules. I remove items that are too old, or at the end of the term, and the item is deleted or transferred. One of my problems is to provide you with a way to find the rules on my pages, quickly as possible. My hosting company does not yet support the anchor link. But there's a way to get one to work. On the table at the top of each list of awards, I have used a table cell that carries a 4 digit letter/number key: such as A133. If you open your browsers "FIND" function and just type this letter/number key into your browser, it will take about a millisecond for your browser to find that information. Try it. It's fast! |
I hope to re-build the DXAWARDS website, over the next few months.
The most popular pages have been the new awards, broken down into Very Short, Annual and Permanent ones. (The online directory will take a lot of work, but it's in my plans. I want to modernize the USACA pages, and make it easier to provide useful information for county hunters. The section just below this paragaph is a suggested way to do this work. As pages are added, I will make sure as new pages are added, that a link is available from the home page. Completed pages are Red/Bold/Underlined. 0. index - Home Page 1.
