Awards are attractive recognitions for successful operations by amateur radio and as well as motivation and intention for more activities. At the same time offer good awards opportunities to preoccupied with interesting questions of the world. ....................................... My experience is, that to work for awards we have to get over 3 steps of difficulties (without inappropriate rules):......................................................................................................................... ......1. to get the necessary QSOs, ................................................................................................. ..... 2. to get the QSL cards and acceptance of the QSL dates, ................................................. ..... 3. to pay and to get the award. ................................................................................................. The first step of difficulty was always most easy.

In my collection I have about 200 awards and certificates.
