The AMSAT-EA operators will activate
the aforementioned callsigns from the different states and autonomous cities of Spain
during the said period of time and with the objective in this edition to promote contacts with the
maximum number of them.
As part of this activity and to encourage participation, SILVER and
GOLD diplomas will be available for the different modalities of satellites according to their
footprint and orbital height, LEO, MEO (IO-117 satellite) and GEO (QO-100 satellite), as well as a
trophy for the station that works the greatest number of states in the total number
of available satellites and another trophy for the one that contacts the greatest number of
states on the satellite with the largest footprint and coverage (in this case, IO-117). These trophies will be physically sent at no cost to the winners.
The third edition of the AM1SAT satellite contest, in 2021, finished with 1327 QSOs including GEO and LEO contacts, with 57 different radio-countries, using 20 satellites and with the participation of 419 different competitors (callsigns).
