The Southeastern VHF Society is pleased to offer a certificate for working all Grid Squares in the EM field.

Worked All of 'EM Award

Rules:

- Submit confirmations of having worked all grids EM00 thru EM99.

- VUCC confirmation summary sheets from the ARRL, and/or QSL cards are valid forms of confirmation. For example: a VUCC confirmation sheet showing all but one EM grid worked on 6m, plus one QSL card for the missing grid having been worked on 2m would entitle the bearer to a Mixed Band Worked All of ‘EM award.

- Contacts may be made on any amateur band above 50 MHz. In  otherwords, the basic award is mixed band. Entrants submitting 100 cards for a single band will receive a special single band award.

- All direct modes are valid, including EME and DSP digital modes

- Cards can be dated January 31, 1983 or later, i.e. from the beginning of grid squares.

- All contacts must be made from a location or locations within the same grid locator or locations in different grid locators no more than 50 miles apart.

- Entrant for this award does not have to be a Southeastern VHF Society member.

- Entries may be judged by any one of several awards committee members. A list of current committee members will be maintained on the  www.svhfs.org  website. Cards may be brought for checking at the annual conference in April. Contact the member directly for details if cards are to be shipped and checked between conferences. Checkers may not check their own cards of course.

- Award Committee Chairman, Charles Osborne, K4CSO is the keeper of the serialization of numbers. Certificate numbers are awarded based on the date the award is verified, and when name and call sign is forwarded to K4CSO for listing.
