Award Collection
International Amateur Radio Awards
SV1OCA - Leonidas Award Gallery has 42 Amateur Radio Diplomas, Awards, and Certificates.
"Amateur radio diplomas" are certificates, which certify that one has made a certain number of radio calls under prescribed conditions. The diplomas are issued by various radio amateur organizations. The requirements are very different. They range from confirming radio communications with a given city to proving radio communications with 100 countries around the world. The creation of diplomas is intended to increase the activity of radio amateurs. The aim here is to motivate those who want to have their successes confirmed in writing and want this document as an attractive decoration for their "radio shack".
This is how Hans-Joachim Pietsch, DJ6HP, defined the term in his Amateur Radio Lexicon [1] published by Franzis-Verlag in 1981
