[IRCA] Committee Announces New Ultralight MW DXing Awards Program

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

The Ultralight DXing Awards Committee is pleased to announce a new and  
on-going Awards Program for the Ultralight MW DXing Community.  The Program  is 
unique in several respects; first, it is the only Awards Program that is  
restricted to MW DXing accomplishments achieved with commonly available,  
inexpensive, entertainment-grade "Ultralight" pocket radios.  Secondly, the  program is 
totally web-based.  Applications for awards are accepted by  e-mail only and 
award certificates that are suitable for framing are distributed  to the 
recipients as printable digital image files.  Thirdly, these  certificates feature 
digitally re-mastered images of some of the most remarkable  radio art from the 
first decade of broadcast radio.
 
The comprehensive Ultralight DX Awards Program features awards at various  
levels for Stations Heard, U.S. States Heard, Canadian Provinces Heard, Latin  
American Stations Heard, Trans-Atlantic Stations Heard, Trans-Pacific  Stations 
Heard, Countries Heard and Continents Heard.  In each  category, when a DXer 
reaches beyond what is normally considered high  achievement, special "Master 
DXer" certificates are awarded;  for instance,  in the Stations Heard 
category, certificates are available for stations heard at  the 100, 200, 300, etc. 
station levels.  At 500 stations heard on an  Ultralight receiver, an 
extraordinary achievement, a "Master Ultralight DXer  Award" is conferred.
 
A complete description of the Ultralight DX Awards Program is available for  
download from the Ultralight Files area at _http://www.dxer.ca/_ 
(http://www.dxer.ca/)  or directly from Rob Ross of  the Awards Committee at

If you have yet to experience the renewed thrill of DXing with an  
inexpensive Ultralight receiver, we invite you to share the excitement and  satisfaction 
that comes from success in pocket radio DX.  Emphasizing DXing  skill and 
knowledge over equipment innovation, Ultralight Radio DXing brings  special 
rewards in proportion to the special challenges-- and has restored the  original 
thrill of AM DXing to many radio enthusiasts.  The Ultralight  Files area of 
dxer.ca has an extensive set of information and resources on the  many aspects of 
Ultralight Radios, and enthusiasts' activities.  We hope  you will accept the 
challenge, join in the fun, and share in the rewards!
 
The Ultralight DX Awards Committee:  Gary DeBock,  Rob Ross and  John Bryant
