The CW Operators' QRP Club<br />
MPK AWARD RULES<br />
(MILLIWATTS PER KILOMETRE)<br />
The main criterion for the 'MPK' is simply to work the farthest distance with the<br />
least output power.<br />
The Award is available for CW, SSB and PSK31 modes.<br />
The Award will be made to stations which achieve successful QSOs on or after<br />
1 January 1999 over distances equal to, or greater than, the following:-<br />
Section Power Distance km per mW mW per km<br />
no more than at least at least no more than<br />
A 10 mW 100 km 10 0.1<br />
B 100 mW 500 km 5 0.2<br />
C 200 mW 600 km 3 0.33<br />
D 500 mW 1 000 km 2 0.5<br />
E 1 W 2 000 km 2 0.5<br />
F 5 W 10 000 km 2 0.5<br />
For verifi cation purposes, applicants are asked to supply full details <strong>of</strong> -<br />
• Output power: Key Down for CW and PEP for SSB;<br />
• Latitude and longitude: grid squares, GPS location or map reference (preferably<br />
two or more); and<br />
• Photocopies <strong>of</strong> QSL cards sent and received.<br />
The fee for each award is AUD$ 5.00 or fi ve $1.00 Australian postage stamps<br />
for posting within VK.<br />
The fee for DX applicants is AUD$ 10.00 or US$ 6.00.<br />
A station may claim more than one award for a single QSO. For example, if<br />
you work 2 500 km on 400 mW then both Section D and Section E awards may<br />
be claimed.<br />
A station with individual awards in all sections (A to F) may apply for a special<br />
'All Sections Award' for CW or for SSB. There is no additional fee if applied for<br />
at the same time as the fi fth individual award.<br />
