Please note that QSL Cards are NOT required. We do not routinely send out or collect QSL cards, and no special one is being issued for this event, it is all about the award. However, if you require one for other purposes, please QSL via the bureau to G4WAB or G7WAB as appropriate. In order to save resources and work load, we would ask that you do not QSL unnecessarily.

The cost will be £3-00 and certificates will be sent in PDF format unless requested otherwise.
