The APE Award is offered to any 070 Club member who during the month of August, organizes, sets up, and operates a portable PSK31 expedition which meets all Award requirements.   Note that a successful APE expedition makes 20 contacts and earns a certificate of achievement.  Working a shrewdness of APE’s earns an Attaboy.   You may earn the sticker by working the same station on different bands and on different days for 5 credits or more.
