The Romanian PSK Award Series (ROPA) was devised by the European PSK Club (EPC) on 22nd May 2009. This was to sponsor a series of PSK awards based on the Administrative Geography and Amateur Radio activity in Romania. Any award in this series may be claimed by any licensed radio amateur, club station, or DMS (SWL) eligible under the EPC Awards General Rules who can produce evidence of having contacted or monitored amateur radio stations from Romania on B(Q)PSK31, B(Q)PSK63, and B(Q)PSK125 modes. Credit will be given for contacts made on any of the amateur bands below 30 MHz.
Romania is divided into 41 counties, plus the Municipality of Bucharest (București) - which has equal rank. «ROPA 10», «ROPA 20», «ROPA 30», and «ROPA 40» awards may be claimed for contacts with amateur radio stations from 10, 20, 30, and 40 counties respectively. Contacts are valid on or after 10th June 2006 with the EPC members only.
