Radio Active Award Program
ERARC currently has a new Radio Active Award 
Program. The program is designed to encourage club 
member to turn their rigs on and start making some 
QSO’s. 

To qualify for the award club members would 
bring to a club meeting proof of:
  • 40 QSO’s for the Gold Level award, 20 QSO’s 
    for the Silver Level award, or 10 QSO’s for 
    the Bronze Level Award during the month of a 
    general meeting. OR 100 for Gold, 50 for Silver, 
    or 25 for Bronze for the quarter (Jan.-Mar., Apr.- 
    June, July-Sept., Oct.-Dec.)
  • QSO’s must be at least 5 minutes long and can 
    be in any mode, any band, from home or mobile, 
    and made at any time except during Field Day 
    and other contest weekends.

  • Acceptable proof can be a hand written or 
    computer generated print out from your logbook, 
    or QSL cards that fulfill ARRL requirements for 
    their awards.
  • Two board members will review award 
    submissions during each general meeting. If 
    the contacts meet the qualifications, you will be 
    presented with the radio Active Award certificate 
    at the meeting.
  • Conversations following a check-in-only net, or on 
    a rag chewing net, can be counted. Just be sure to 
    log them and make sure they’re 5 minutes long. In 
    other words, if you talk, make a couple of comments/
    responses, and not just check in, on a net that lasts 
    say 20 minutes, you've probably had the equivalent of 
    a 5 QSO. You make the judgement.
