II. NOTES

• (a) Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain (a geographical area – the largest island in the British Isles).
• (b) England is divided into Counties and Unitary Authorities, while Scotland and Wales are divided into Unitary Authorities. These are shown, in alphabetical order, on the record sheet.
• (c) In 1974, the Counties were reorganised, and some Metropolitan areas were created
• (d) To further complicate matters, some districts within Counties or Metropolitan areas applied for, and received unitary status ( roughly translated ,they became financially independent of the Counties or Metropolitan areas). Some of these Unitary Authorities came into effect in 1996, some in 1997 and the rest come into effect on April 1st 1998.
• (e) For the purposes of this award, the English Counties are those based on Ceremonial Arrangements. Most Unitary Authorities in England are, for the purpose of Ceremonial Arrangements either ‘attached’ to a County or have ‘County status’.
• (f) Also for the purposes of this award, some Unitary Authorities have been grouped together in what has been called a Region, in England because there are many small UA’s in densely populated areas like London, while in Scotland and Wales because there are many relatively uninhabitated (particularly as regards amateur radio) UA’s.
• These Regions are clearly shown as ‘Regions’ on the record sheet, Unitary Authorities are shown in Italics.
• (g) Only contacts after April 1st 1998 are valid (which is when the last Unitary Authorities come into existence)
• (h) The addresses of British stations given in callbooks can be misleading because the postal address sometimes uses the OLD county system… .BEWARE.
• Also some TOWNS have the same name as Counties/Regions/UA’s … do not confuse the two.
• In the event of any uncertainty about which County/UA a particular town or village is part of, contact the CM who will try and help you out, but please look at the supplementary notes first.
• (i) As some Counties/Regions/UA’s are very sparsely populated (and very ‘thin’ on any radio amateurs , never mind those with 10-10 numbers), this is not a ‘Worked All Counties’ and Regions Award
