     Since I became active on HF bands sometime 2014, the Worked WRTC Qualifying Regions Award also known as WWQR is one of the radio operating awards that I've been monitoring and working on. I am glad to have collected the 3 colors of WWQR (Black, Red and Yellow). QSOs made on the needed stations on certain qualifying regions finally uploaded their logs after 3 years and made me qualified to apply for the WWQR 2015(Black) recently.      http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/activities/wwqr-award     As of to date, I have 9 certificates/awards approved and collected. I can apply for more should more QSOs were confirmed and uploaded on the needed qualifying regions.

    Today, January 11 of 2018, I received my First set of Amateur Radio Operating certificates for 2018 from the     Royal Belgian Amateur Radio Union (UBA).          UBA International Prefix Hunt is not a contest, but more of a challenge in chasing World's Prefixes  gathered within a year. At least 300 different prefixes in the log and submitted to be able to get a certificate.
