AWARDS

This month the United Nations Vienna (4U1A) award program is highlighted. The United Nations Amateur Radio Contest DX Club (ARCDXC) is based at the United Nations Office in Vienna, Austria. It is located at the third UN campus and building complex that was built after New York and Geneva (There is a fourth UN headquarters campus in Nairobi, Kenya – ed.). This organization has created an award program with enough variety and challenge to keep a paper chaser busy for a long while.

Follow the link <> to the club’s website to get all the information. Each award has a different set of rules so be sure to read each one carefully. However, the awards all have some elements in common. Unless otherwise noted, plaque fees are currently $48 U.S. />. Fee payments should be made via PayPal to <>.
