It’s meant to encourage engaging with the great group of satellite operators on social media. Too often operators find out about an activation of a grid they need after the activation is already complete. AMSAT would like to encourage operators try their hand at roving to new grids and also to announce their activities to the community and then document their experiences roving to new grids in the AMSAT Journal.
There are multiple ways to earn this award. Social media usage and Journal articles are ways to enhance and share the experience with others, but are not mandatory.

click on Services, then Awards and then the very first award on the top (hint... it is the new one)
Why are you awarding more points for almost any other aspect of this award for something that has nothing to do with radio, satellites, or operating on those? More points for a social media post than for operating? Really?
