Certificates for most verified contacts will be awarded for low power (10w or under) and high power (over 10w). Contestants can participate from their QTH, mobile or pedestrian mobile. Be sure to include your power category along with your logs. Your log should include Name, call sign, your contact information and the name and call sign of the contact.
