Official 10-10 Awards and Their Requirements
NOTE: The following is a listing of general rules and requirements for ALL 10-10 award programs. Rules
and requirements specific to an individual award are included with the description of each individual
award.
Program Description
10-10 sponsors a program of operating awards. Each award is administered by a volunteer manager who
provides applicants with the award rules, application forms, certification of applicant's submission, and
issuance appropriate award or upgrade. As of 2000, 10-10 authorizes the following operating awards:
Specific requirements for each award regarding qualifications, procedures, and the name of current award
managers are provided in the individual award descriptions.
Uniform Qualifications
Applications for all awards are subject to the following uniform general qualifications and procedures.
Membership:
To apply for any 10-10 award, proof of full (paid-up) membership is mandatory. A copy of a current
membership card or the address label from the latest copy of 10-10 News will satisfy this requirement.
Proof of membership must be sent with each application for any award.
Rules and Application Forms:
An application form, listing the rules for each award, is available from the specific awards manager.
Requests for application should be sent to the specific award manager and must be accompanied by a
#10 (business size) stamped, self-addressed envelope (SASE). In the case of DX requests, send enough
funds to cover return postage. Members are requested not to telephone
awards managers to request forms or rules. Awards/certificates that require only listing of information
without specific application forms include the Bar awards and the VP certificate. All other 10-10
awards/certificates require an application form.
Special Note: Certain key forms
are available in both HTML and in PDF formats from the link indicated. The advantage of the PDF format
is that it prints correctly without trial and error. However, it does require that you have a copy of
Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 installed: the program is available free from http://www.adobe.com/acrobat. Many of the forms were
constructed by Bob Munro, W1AMF.
Award On-The-Air Contacts:
A legal 10-10 contact must be a two-way contact exclusively on ten meters. A legal contact consists of
the call, 10-10 number, name, date, and QTH (state or country). At no time is it acceptable for a 10-10 number
to be relayed via a third station. These requirements for a legal 10-10 contact have been affirmed by the
Board of Directors.
Defective Applications:
Should an applicant provide too much money for an award, the Award Manager will return the excess with
the award or upgrade. Should the applicant fail to send enough money, adequate postage, or proof of
current (full) membership, the Award Manager will hold the application and send the applicant a standard
form letter indicating what is needed to permit award or upgrade processing. If the application is
substantially defective with respect to the specific award requirements, the Award Manager will return the
application with a brief explanation.
Handwritten or Computer Applications:
For all 10-10 awards, legible handwritten, typed, or computer printed applications are acceptable.
Award Costs:
All awards are free to paid members. This includes all basic and any
upgrades (as appropriate).
QSL Confirmation:
QSL confirmation is required for some, not all, 10-10 awards. Read the rules for the individual 10-10
award for details regarding QSL conformation. If photocopies of QSL cards are submitted, be sure that
the 10-10 number and date of contact is legible. Send both sides of the QSL card where necessary. If
actual QSL cards are submitted for a award, please send enough postage for their return. QSL
photocopies will not be returned unless requested and postage is supplied.
New Awards:
In accord with a policy decision of the Board of Directors, the effective date of all new 10-10 awards will
be 120 days after the publication date announcing the availability of the award. All applications received
by the award manager prior to the effective date of the award will be held and award numbers will be
drawn by lot.
There are separate managers for Bars 100-900 and Bars
1000 and greater.
