THE 'SIX ON SIX AWARD (c) K1SIX
The Rules:
1. Only CONFIRMED CONTACTS, ANY MODE-- on SIX METERS after 6 June 1966
will be considered.
2. Contacts must be made via direct mode. Contacts via repeaters are not
valid even if the repeater contains a "SIX" suffix.
3. Submit proof of TWO-WAY contacts with at least SIX different
callsigns that contain the suffix: "SIX" *.
4. Stations operating portable outside their assigned DXCC entity (e.g.
PA1SIX as I2/PA1SIX) will count as a separate callsign.
5. Endorsements are issued in increments of SIX (ie. 6, 12, 18, etc.)
and a new certificate will be issued with the endorsement. Send ONLY those QSLs
that qualify you for the targeted endorsement- No more, no less.
6. All Certificates will be individually numbered and records maintained in a
database.
7. Submit QSLs and sufficient funds to cover return postage to: K1SIX at
the most recent callbook address.
8. Recommended amounts are US $3.00 for US and Canada, US $4.00 for foreign
(air). Award and QSLs will be shipped in a sturdy mailer to insure the award is
NOT FOLDED. For those that don't care: US and Canada $2.00 and foreign
air $3.00 (Your award will be folded into an envelope along with
your QSLs). Please US $ only- no IRCs *.
9. If you are worried about lost QSLs* then please ship insured and submit
sufficient postage for QSL return in the same manner.
10. E-qsl submissions, photocopies and GIFS/JPEGs are now acceptable as long
as the confirmation shows BOTH CALLS (along with the standard
date/time/report/frequency) on a single side. E-mail K1SIX prior
to these type submissions for more information and "rules" for submitting secure
e-mail attachments! See Buckmaster or QRZ.COM for most recent e-mail address.
11. If you wish an endorsement but do not really need a new certificate
that's ok. It won't cost a dime. If you comply with the E-QSL submission
requirement above, your new endorsement level will be promptly listed below.
Please remember to e-mail ahead so we can go over the secure submission issue!

This is a listing of present 'SIX ON SIX certificates issued along with
endorsements:
Each endorsement "level" will be color coded in the chart below. Level
1= 6, Level 2=12, Level 3=18, etc. The most recent individual that
reaches the highest endorsement level will get a "flashing congratulations"
here! From my calculations, 24 (Level 4) is the "top gun" and a challenging and
attainable goal.

THE FINE PRINT
K1SIX will not be held responsible for
lost or stolen submissions, QSLs or any other liabilities related to this FUN
endeavor. No personal gain is intended. ANY gain realized will be donated to
improve the life of those who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease. Effective
Feburary 2001: A US $1.00 price increase for all and an option to "hold" the
costs if you elect to receive a folded award. This to compensate for increased
postal costs plus costs of the sturdy "mailer" to insure your award does not
arrive folded. It is hoped that anyone that has a "SIX" suffix will show
complete respect for well established six meter operating practices!
"Work 'em first, ask questions later". I am NOT an
international attorney that is "practiced" in the rules and regulations
governing international law when it comes to your Amateur License! If I happen
to "catch" an illegal contact- it will be discredited if sufficient proof of an
illegal QSO is received from the appropriate "authority". Should this occur, a
new total will be calculated and posted. If you suffer a reduction that brings
your total count of confirmed 'SIX's below the minimum qualifying amount of
six, the certificate (or endorsement) you received will be considered VOID and
you will be required to resubmit the appropriate amount of confirmations to
bring you up to minimum award or endorsement level. Under these conditions, it
could be possible to lose an award number completely and receive a new award
with a NEW SEQUENTIAL NUMBER. The decisions of K1SIX will be considered FINAL
under such circumstances.
