The Star Comm Group has a new satellite award called Got Grids? that will be effective 1 Jan 2014. The award can be seen along with the rules at http://www.starcommgroup.org/gotgrids.html
The rules for the 5in EM55 award have been changed to make it a little easier also. http://www.starcommgroup.org/5in55.html This award is open to the world with the new rules. Example you can work 5 stations that have the award anywhere, without working anyone in EM55 or any combination, say 2 stations in em55 and 3 stations that have the award from any other state or country.
A 3rd award is in the planning stages , GRID MASTERS rules and design to come soon.
These awards are free. Donations to Amsat are welcomed. Please note on your check STAR Comm Group Award.
We hope to increase activity on the birds.
