WYCO RACES FIELD DAY AWARDS
There are several operating awards that operators at the WyCo RACES Field Day can earn.
For the operating awards contacts can be made in any mode or band.
For example, if the operator makes contacts in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska using 20M voice then later makes the Iowa contact using 40M digital then they earn the FEMA Region 7 Award. Dupes do not count.
