1. All awards offered by the QRPARCI are available free of charge to active QRP ARCI members (an 'active' member has a current subscription to QRP Quarterly). Awards are available to SWL members on a 'heard' basis. All contacts must have been made running a maximum of 5 watts CW/DATA or 10 watts SSB/Voice.

2. Confirmations, in the form of QSL cards or other electronic logbook data, such as EQSL or LOTW, are not required for all Awards offered by QRPARCI.
   
   With your application please include a listing of claimed stations complete with log data and a GCR Form signed by 2 amateurs attesting that they have examined your logs and verify your qualifications for the Award. Your list should conform to the individual format of each Award as listed.

3. Endorsement stickers are no longer available. Depending upon the award, a new certificate will be issued with the updated info on it. For example, if you have WAS20, and move up to WAS 30, a new certificate will be issued. A Natural Power certificate may be claimed for any award when using a power source other than Household Electricity, Motor Driven Generators or Batteries.

4. Awards may be issued and endorsed for QSOs made via amateur satellites (the exceptions being the KMPW and 5-band awards)

5. A note on multiple band awards. The 5 Band WAS, DX100 and WAC Awards can be for any 5 of the HF amateur bands including 30, 17, and 12 meters. Please note that if you include 30 Meters as one of your 5 bands and you are claiming one mode (CW or Data), the other 4 bands must also be all CW or all Data. Please remember that no SSB/FM operations are permitted on 30 meters.
