Welcome to the Robin Hood Award
Stories and legends about Robin Hood are
popular around the world, especially the USA and in Europe, so this
award offers an
opportunity for Radio Amateurs to share their interest in these tales -
and the "real" history - on air.
The Robin Hood Award is an 'self-service award' for Radio Amateurs who make radio contacts into, or out of, Robin Hood Country' in Northern England. All Radio Amateurs can participate, and the award is totally self-regulated by participants.
The Award has two categories: 'Chasers' and 'Activators'. The award is free and the rules are not complicated.
