To be eligible to have a contact listed as claimed on this page the following conditions apply:

1) At least one operator involved in the contact must be a member of the PNWVHFS at the time the contact takes place.

2) Only contacts after 0001z on 01 January 2003 are eligible. No contacts using electronic means of rebroadcast (repeaters, man-made satellites, linear translators, etc) are eligible.

3) Reports should be sent to the [email protected] reflector and MUST contain the following information: Station info for both operators (callsigns & email addresses or phone numbers if available), Frequency, Emmision Mode (Digital, SSB, CW)), Time, Date, Six-digit grid locators (ie: CN85km) for both stations, Claimed distance, Propagation mode (Meteor Scatter, Aurora, EME, Tropo, etc).

4) PNWVHFS reserves the right to independantly contact both operators to verify the details of the contact. In the event of conflict, the PNWVHFS Board of Directors will review the case and reach a determination. This decision will be final.

5) Operators are asked to not claim "garden variety" contacts. This only creates a great deal of work for the society staff.

6) There are no "awards" associated with these per se. PNWVHFS may award certificates to the operators for exceptional efforts upon recommendation of the Board of Directors. These certificates will be presented at the annual meeting of the Society.

Addendum: In January 2004 the PNWVHFS Board of Directors voted to limit the Distance Scoreboard Emmission Mode types to only Digital, SSB and CW.
