The EPC Deutschland Award Series was devised by the DL Section of the European PSK Club on 23rd March 2007 (rules idea by DK5UR). This was to sponsor a series of PSK awards based on the administrative geography of Germany. Any EPCDL award may be claimed by any licensed radio amateur, club station or SWL/DMS eligible under these rules who can produce evidence of having contacted/monitored German EPC members by using PSK modes. Only contacts with German EPC members count on or after 10th June 2006.
There are eight EPCDL Awards at the moment: the EPCDL in five classes BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM and DIAMOND, and the three Regional awards EPCDL-NORTH, EPCDL-SOUTH and EPCDL-EAST. Credit will be given for contacts made on any of the amateur bands below 30 MHz.
EPCDL Awards
The EPCDL Awards may be claimed by any EPC member eligible under the EPCDL PSK Award Series General Rules listed above who can produce evidence of having contacted different German EPC members and EU Areas by using any type of the Phase Shift Keying. Each EPC-DL member counts only once. Each contact is worth 1 point. A multiplier of one is for each different German EU Area. The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of German EU Area multipliers.
1000 Points with at least 20 GM-Areas
2000 Points with at least 25 GM-Areas
3000 Points with at least 30 GM-Areas

EPCDL Regional Awards
The EPCDL-Region Award may be claimed by any EPC member eligible under the EPCDL Award Series General Rules listed above who can produce evidence of having contacted different German EPC members and EU Areas by using any type of the Phase Shift Keying. Two QSO with different EPC-DL club stations can be used as a «Joker» to replace any one missing German EU Area within the Region (maximum 2 areas). The applicant should earn 350 points for contacts with German EPC members. Each EPC-DL member counts once, and each contact is worth 3 points. Each contact with EPC-DL club station counts 3 points per different GM-Area. A multiplier of one is for each different German EU Area.
