Amateur Radio Awards that have been achieved by M1VPN
I do like setting goals for my operating and have collected some "Wallpaper" along the way. There are some great Award Schemes out there.
The ARRL DXCC being the most well known, but JARL have some excellent awards and their certificates are excellent, so are their team in JARL HQ. The RSGB have a few, and the new Awards Co-ordinator is doing a fine job, but the certificates are bland and the schemes are not that inspiring compared to other countries. DARC also have a great portal for awards, and their logbook can ingest from LoTW. They also support other awards from DIG etc.
I would like to achieve #1 Honor Roll for DXCC, but I'm a long way off at the moment, but I will get there.
