It is also a good opportunity for you to gain a very nice certificate. All you have to do is work the requisite number of award stations and send in a log extract - you don't need QSL cards.
I am giving a talk to Kings Lynn Amateur Radio Club about the best way to win the award and you can download the presentation in PDF format (14Mb). It is aimed at UK operators.
I shall be helping to run GB0CMS again this year at Caister Lifeboat. There is short video that looks at the equipment the club used to make 165 contacts in 24 countries on Saturday 30 April 2011. And another for the 2012 event when we made more than 500 contacts.

Hi Steve, it was a very interesting and inspiring presentation you delivered at King's Lynn club. Thank you very much. I think I will attempt the award, but most of all it has giving me the urge to improve my morse, I was very impressed with the footage of some of the operators. Thanks again Mike G0SHC/G1SCT
