KORDIA NATIONAL SYSTEM AWARD
“ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND FIRE STATIONS”
Rules for the 2019 National System Award
New Plymouth Branch 27 thought it would be a unique opportunity to incorporate the running of the 2019 Kordia National System Award over May and June as we will be hosting the 2019 NZART Conference and Annual General Meeting.
The theme this year for the Kordia National System Award is “Active New Zealand Fire Stations” of which there are over 600 Nation wide.
This award is open to all amateur radio operators.
The award will run from 15th May 2019 through to the 23rd June 2019 on the National System and you are required to accumulate a minimum of 30 points.
The points system is as follows:
The compulsory station for the award is ZL2AB which will give you 5 points towards your total.
3 points for Rural Fire Stations
1 point for City/Town Stations
An amateur activating any fire station may claim the point(s) for the award after completing their first contact from that fire station. These point(s) can only be claimed once for each activated Fire Station.
Please note if travelling to any fire station to activate it you MUST NOT park or hinder any Emergency access or vehicles at all times.
A Rural Fire Station is defined by the list of all Fire Stations released by Fire Headquarters.
You are required to be in sight of an active fire station to be able to activate it.
An active fire station means it must hold at least one official fire appliance.
Any handheld radio, mobile rig or home stations are permitted to be used for the award.
