This is an interesting award. The following from a post by Larry, W2LJ to another list which I won't mention, other than to note that some clown immediately wanted to know why SSB contacts didn't count. "NA QRP CW CLUB!" DUH!

The newly formed North American QRP CW Club is sponsoring a new award for the coming year. Since 2005 is a mere three weeks away; now is a good time for all you
folks begin thinking about it.
The award is "The QSO a Day Award"; and it's purpose is to increase QRP CW activity on the air waves.

The goal is simple to remember - make at least one QRP CW QSO a day - every day! You can earn a certificate for doing this for at least one month; or string 'em
all together and do it for a full year! There are twelve different classes of awards that will be issued.

The criteria are:


A ham can only earn one of the 12 classes of the award.


A QSO is defined as a legitimate contact with another amateur station whether it be a long rag chew or a quick signal report exchange in a contest or with a DX
station.

All QSO's must be made using CW at QRP power levels, i.e. 5 watts or less transmitter output.

None of the QSO's may come from a pre-arranged schedule with another ham.


None of the QSO's may come from a net of any kind.


For classes 2A through 3B, the months do not have to be consecutive.


A day is defined as 0000-2400 UTC.


A QSO may only count for one day, i.e. a QSO that starts at 2355 UTC on March 4th and ends at 0010 UTC on March 5th only counts as a QSO for March 4th. In other
words the starting time of a QSO determines for which day a QSO counts.
