The  IMD  Award
Introduction

The Cornish Amateur Radio Club offers two special Award Certificates for working authorised International Marconi Day  Award Stations: one is for Transmitting Stations and the other for Short Wave Listeners.  The Award Classes and  required standards to be achieved are summarised in the following page.

Please refer to the Operations page for details of the event organisation.   A list of the qualifying Marconi stations is given at the Award Stations page.

Award Claims

Your Award claim should state the Award Category claimed, and must be made in writing giving a FULL extract of your log together with your callsign and address (often forgotten !).   The log extract may be a certified copy of the original log or a certified computer print out.  Ideally, another amateur should certify that your log extract represents a true copy of the original log entries:   if no other amateur is available, an adult signatory will be accepted.   Please address your claim to:

IMD Awards Manager,   Cornish Amateur Radio Club

PO Box 100, TRURO, Cornwall, TR1 1XP, England

The cost of the Award is the same for all Classes, which is as follows:

$10.00 US, €10  or  £5.00 Sterling   or  12 IRC's

Please make cheques payable to "Cornish Radio Amateur Club"

Please note the following:

  • Only one HF radio contact with each IMD Special Event Station (Participating Station) will count towards the Award.

  • The Award is NOT cumulative, ie contacts made in previous or subsequent years with an IMD station WILL NOT   count towards the Award.   The required number of Award Stations must be worked during the SAME 24 hour period.
