Worked All Britain Calendar Award

Please Note: The Calendar Award has now finished. No further Award claims may be made.

Since we introduced the award for our Ruby Anniversary, W.A.B.’s "one off" yearly awards have proved very popular with our members, especially those long in the tooth, who liked something new to go for.

One comment made, however, is that it is much easier for those who have a lot of free time to achieve these awards and in fact, in some cases, they are achieved within a few weeks of their inception.

With this in mind, we have tried with this award to make it span over more of the year by including time factors. The top stage of the award cannot be achieved until October at the earliest.

We appreciate that members joining later in the year will not be able to get to the higher stages and we hope you understand the reasoning for doing it this way. There is always next year...

General Rules:

1. All contacts to be made in the calendar year of 2013
2. As per the revised general W.A.B. policy, certificates will be unnumbered
3. Also re the above, award listings will be made in alpha-numeric order of callsign
4. Awards may be endorsed for any band/mode
5. Lower stages of the award must be claimed prior to, or at the same time as, a higher stage
6. An individual square may only be claimed once during the year

In common with all W.A.B. awards, it will be available to non-members upon receipt of the appropriate fee.

The Award will be split into 2 sections:

1. UK HF & Europe HF
