This page carries details of operating awards notified to your columnist. I cannot guarantee how effectively the various sponsors will deal with your claims, but a good general rule is that awards sponsored by national societies and major DX and contest clubs are handled well, whereas local clubs can be somewhat variable as committees change their composition, etc.

All Africa Award
The All Africa Award is sponsored by the South African Radio League.
Its aim is to encourage more QSOs with African countries.
Applicants must prove having made contact with the following 31 areas:
* One contact with a station in each of the six call areas of South Africa (ZS1 to ZS6).
* One contact in each of 25 African countries outside South Africa.
Only contacts with stations on the African continent are valid. African islands and ship-based stations do not count. "Country" means a country according to the DXCC list maintained by the ARRL. Deleted countries also count, provided that contacts were made while the country existed.
Application must be made in writing. A list of QSL cards must be included.
The list must be certified by an official of a local radio club or two licenced radio amateurs, who have seen the QSL cards. The list must contain at least the following information:
UTC time and date of the contact
Callsign of the station
Transmission mode
Frequency band
Name of the country
Endorsements for single modes and/or bands can be requested.
Include US$ 10.00 or 10 IRCs to cover postage and handling charges.

Note:
ZS3 before 21 March 1990 counts for V5
ZS3 note:
During 1996 changes were made to the AAA to accommodate various political changes on the African continent. The rules now require a contact with each of the six ZS call areas and 25 African countries outside South Africa.
ZS3 callsigns were issued in South West Africa during its administration by South Africa. On the 21st of March 1990, South West Africa became the new independent country Namibia (V5). ZS3 is now issued in the North Western part of the Republic of South Africa. |
