\nWith reference to the message on January 15 UTC, the First 100 Reports from overseas stations are qualified for this award. Only ten overseas stations sent report so far. Still enough award can be issued. Additionally, a souvenir, a sticky screen cleaner, will be given with this award.<\/p>\n

SWL cards:
\nFive designs are prepared. The stations which report more than five times can receive all designs. Also, the specially designed card will be presented to the stations which received a signal from the small antenna, because the reports are valuable to demonstrate the antenna in space. So far, two stations succeeded in the reception.<\/p>\n

Further special events are planned for the promotion of receptions by more stations. This will be announced later.<\/p>\n

There were some reception reports by very simple equipment, for example, Dipole or 5\/8 wave length whip with USB tuner dongle (RTL2832).<\/p>\n
