2024 August PSK Expedition (APE)

GO APE THIS YEAR!!

 To encourage PSK31 operations in the field and to research and gain practical experience in the portable capabilities of the PSK31 mode, the PODXS 070 Club offers to the members the August PSK31 Expedition (APE) Award. 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.
