There are several awards available for contacting a certain number of different club members. Qualifying CW contacts can be made on any ham band at any time.  Contacts during any contest will qualify as well as any QSOs made in non-contest time periods.  These awards will be available on our web site and are individually administered using the honor system.  Stations will be invited to post their cumulative totals to the appropriate listing on our web site.

The Free ZRCWOPS program is now available for download on our website to make tracking for these awards easy.

CWops ACA – This award is the Annual Competition Award.  Only one contact per member per calendar year can be counted for this award.  Contacts can be made on any amateur band. The award will be offered at two levels in 2010: ACA-100 and ACA-250.

CWops CMA – This award is the Cumulative Membership Award.  This award recognizes the number of members contacted on each amateur band, beginning January 3, 2010 and continuing in perpetuity.  Initially, we will recognize accomplishments at these levels: CMA-250, CMA-500, CMA-750, and CMA-1000.

CWops WAS AWARD – This is the club Worked All States award for working the U.S. states. Every contact must be made with an active member of the club.  Feel free to use all amateur bands. This is a once in a lifetime award; however, you can also add single band endorsements to your CWops WAS Award.
