Regolamento Diploma dei Quadratoni     

In riferimento ai primi 4 caratteri del WW Locator, o alle prime lettere dell'EU Locator, la sezione ARI di Perugia ha istituito i seguenti "Diplomi dei Quadratoni" "Squares Award"

I Diplomi verranno rilasciati agli OM muniti di regolare Autorizzazione radioamatoriale che dimostreranno di aver stabilito i seguenti QSO bilaterali con conferma dei relativi quadratoni: 

  • "6m Squares Award": (Richiesti almeno quaranta Quadratoniconfermati)
  • "2m Squares Award": (Richiesti invece almeno trentaQuadratoni confermati)
  • "70cm Squares Award": (Richiesti invece almeno quindiciQuadratoni confermati)
  • "23cm Squares Award": (Richiesti infine almeno sette Quadratoni confermati). 

I diplomi vengono rilasciati in due sezioni: a) stazioni fisse b)stazioni portatili. Le stazioni portatili dovranno aver effettuato tutti i collegamenti dalla stessa call-area. Si possono ottenere più diplomi come portatili da diverse call-area. 

Sono considerati validi i collegamenti effettuati via Tropo, E-Sporadico, FAI, Meteor Scatter, Aurora, TEP e con qualsiasi altro tipo di propagazione. Non sono validi i QSO effettuati via EME o tramite ripetitori attivi. 

Coloro che hanno ottenuto il diploma base possono richiedere avanzamenti. Per ogni 10 quadratoni successivi ( per i 6m e i 2m )  sarà rilasciato un apposito bollino da applicare al diploma (avanzamenti ogni 2 nuovi quadratoni in 70cm e ogni nuovo quadratone in 23cm). 

Le QSL dovranno riportare il QTH Locator delle stazioni collegate e non dovranno presentare aggiunte o correzioni, pena l'invalidità delle stesse ai fini del diploma. Saranno ritenute valide anche le QSL in cui, in luogo del locator, sia indicata chiaramente e con precisione la località dalla quale sono avvenute le trasmissioni. In caso di ripetute irregolarità, ad insindacabile giudizio dell'apposita commissione, il diploma potrà essere non concesso o revocato, con conseguente cancellazione dalla classifica. 

Sono validi i QSO effettuati con stazioni "/m" o "/mm", purché siano rigorosamente rispettate le condizioni di cui al comma n.4. 

Per il rilascio del diploma, inviare le QSL originali, riepilogate in un estratto log, sottoscritto dal richiedente, oppure fotocopia delle stesse, fronte/retro (l'Award Manager si riserva di poter richiedere in qualsiasi momento gli originali), in questo caso l'estratto log dovrà essere controfirmato da due OM o dal Presidente di Sezione. La richiesta, completa come sopra, dovrà essere inviata insieme a 5,00 a titolo di parziale rimborso spese a:

A.R.I. Sezione di Perugia - Casella Postale 113 - 06121 - Perugia (PG) 

Se le QSL sono state inviate in originale, è richiesto anche l'invio di una somma sufficiente alla restituzione delle stesse al proprio indirizzo; Per la richiesta degli avvanzamenti inviare solo SASE o busta preaffrancata. 

I possessori del diploma potranno usare la sigla "...... S.A.(banda) Squares Award" sulle QSL e nella corrispondenza.

  • This week, we've pulled together a few items that might spark some interest, particularly for those dabbling in digital modes or looking to refine their station's utility. We're looking at some compact desktop applications that offer a quick glance at propagation and local conditions, something that always comes in handy whether you're chasing DX on HF or just planning a local net. There's also a deeper dive into some hardware for packet and digital radio experimentation, specifically ESP32-based LoRa boards, which are becoming quite popular for everything from APRS to Meshtastic. And for the low-frequency enthusiasts, we found a construction guide for an active loop converter, which could be a real asset for improving reception on the LF band. It’s all about practical enhancements and exploring new facets of the hobby.

  • This week, we've pulled together a few items that touch on practical aspects of our hobby, from understanding propagation to getting on the air when antenna restrictions are a factor. There's a look at real-time HF conditions using the Reverse Beacon Network, something that comes up often for those chasing DX or just trying to understand band openings. We also have a piece on building a 2-meter skeleton slot Yagi stack, which could be a good project for VHF/UHF enthusiasts looking for something beyond a simple dipole. For those dealing with HOA challenges, there's a discussion on stealth antenna solutions for 40-10m and 80m. And for the digital mode operators, a multi-platform AX.25 terminal program is worth a look. Finally, a historical note on Marconi's early work and a handy ADIF log analyzer round out the selection.

  • The X-026 finally has a name: Icom has unveiled the IC-7110 at Tokyo Ham Fair 2026, closing four months of teaser campaigns and hamfest mock-ups. Here are the first photos, the confirmed specifications and what the new model means for operators waiting on an IC-7100 successor.

  • This week, we're looking at a few items that touch on the practicalities of getting on the air and staying there reliably. There's a piece on understanding SSB bandwidth, which is always worth a revisit, especially when operating near band edges. We also have a resource for looking up callsigns, something that comes up often whether you're chasing DX or just curious about a new contact. For those running higher power, or perhaps considering it, there's a useful set of modifications for Ameritron HF amplifiers to help with cooling during those longer digital mode sessions. And, of course, a solid DX cluster tool is always welcome for finding activity. These are the kinds of things that make a difference in day-to-day operation, from the home station to a portable setup.

  • This week, we're looking at some practical considerations for the shack and out in the field. There's a good piece on building a multi-band delta loop, something that comes up often when space is tight or you're trying to get more out of a single support. We also have a couple of historical notes, revisiting the foundational work of Marconi and Fessenden, which is always worth a read for context on how far we've come. Plus, a quick look at a few places to source gear, from the common accessories to more specialized components that keep our stations on the air, whether it's for HF DX or a portable VHF/UHF setup. It's a mixed bag, but all relevant to the ongoing pursuit of better signals and more effective operation.
