amateurs in the US and Canada (and their possessions) to
work as many amateur stations in as many different 2
degrees x 1 degree Maidenhead grid squares as possible
using authorized frequencies above 50 MHz. Stations
outside the US & Canada (and their possessions) may
only work stations in the US (and its possessions) and
Canada.</p>

if KA1RWY has the highest single-operator all-band score

higher than any other CT single operator’s, she will
earn a certificate for being the single-operator Section
