Centennial QSO Party "Red Badges on the Air" Activity is June 1 (UTC)!
A reminder: The ARRL Centennial QSO Party
<http://www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party> "Red Badges on the Air"
activity takes place on Sunday, June 1, from 0000 UTC (Saturday, May 31,
in US time zones) until 2359 UTC. That's when ARRL officers, elected
officials -- such as Director or Section Manager -- other Field
Organization volunteers, and Headquarters staffers and volunteers will
be on the air to help boost Centennial QSO Party point totals. The ARRL
identification badges worn by these League volunteers and employees are
red, hence the name "Red Badges on the Air."
Contacts with "Red Badges" are worth a lot of points
<http://www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party#Table> -- as much as 300
points per contact for working ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN -- so
participants can increase their Centennial QSO Party tally very quickly.
The event is an activity day, /not/ a contest. Participants can call "CQ
ARRL Centennial QSO Party" on phone or "CQ CENT" on CW or digital modes.
All activity is welcome, regardless of point value; every ARRL member is
worth at least one point in the Centennial QSO Party. Participants get
credit for each band/mode contact, regardless of point value. ARRL
Centennial QSO Party participants can use the online leader board
<https://centennial-qp.arrl.org> to determine how many points they have
accumulated.
Other high-point contacts include: president emeritus (PE) or past
president (PP), 275 points; honorary vice president (HVP) or ARRL vice
president (VP), 250 points; director (DIR), director emeritus (DE), or
past vice president (PVP), 225 points; vice director (VD), 200 points;
section manager (SM), 175 points; ARRL officer (OFF) or past director
(PD), 150 points, and past vice director
(PV), 125 points.
