Canadian Provinces Award

Introducing the Canadian Provinces Gold 500+ Award

Introducing the Gold 500+ Award, starting November 1 2003 earn points toward this new level award.
The goal is to earn 500 points to achieve this beautiful award. Also to encourage Canadian Amateurs to participate in
Canadian Nets we are offering 1 bonus point for each contact made while acting as a Net Control Station on any Canadian Net.
Example: If you take a spot on the Trans Provincial Net and get 30 checkins during your hour you receive 30 bonus points for logged stations. The following nets have given approval for this operation.
Trans Provincial Net
Ontario Amateur Radio Service
Laurentian Net

Note: Please check with the Net Manager of the net you participate in for approval. It is not recommended to work on this award on NTS or ARES Nets, as these nets are for formal traffic handling and emergency preparedness.

All Amateur Radio Stations or, SWL's, are invited to cross Canada via Radio and contact as many stations in as many Canadian Provinces as possible....."Canadians talking to Canadians"..... and earn points towards the
Canadian Provinces Award.
