Notes re the award
**Please note..........
'activated' means 10 QSOs required per activation.
The UTC rollover does not count for this award as a separate activation. An activation must be separated by a 24 hour period.
The 10 QSOs as an activator must be made on a specific date. Not spread across the UTC rollover.
The award is retrospective, so start adding up parks from your old logs.
