> Awards:
>
> Downloadable Certificates will be awarded in the following categories at https://contests.arrl.org/certificates.php <https://contests.arrl.org/certificates.php>
> Single Operator:
>
> - Top Single Operator in each ARRL/RAC Section for high and low power.
>
> - Top Single Operator on each band (50, 144, 222, 432, 902, 1296 and 2304-and-up categories) in each ARRL/RAC Section where significant effort or competition is evident. (Note: Since the highest score per band will be the award winner for that band, an entrant may win a certificate with additional single-band endorsements.) For example, if KA1RWY has the highest single-operator all-band score in the CT Section and her 50- and 222-MHz scores are higher than any other CT single operator’s, she will earn a certificate for being the single-operator Section leader and endorsements for 50 and 222 MHz.
