Worked all ZS Award Series ========================== Last updated: 2006-08-26 "Worked all ZS" is one of the two major operating awards of the South African Radio League. Full rules are available on their Web site (www.sarl.org.za), and are reproduced at the end of this list. WAZS is considerably harder than DXCC. Working the required 100 stations is not hard, but getting QSL cards is! It's an interesting challenge, though. Applications peaked at an all-time high of 127 in the Sixties. The Seventies saw only 19, with 20 in the Eighties and only 10 in the Nineties!

Applicants must prove two way contacts (or SWL reports) with at least 100 South African callsigns. The callsigns must represent the different call areas as follows: ZS1 16 contacts ZS2 8 contacts ZS3 1 contact ZS4 6 contacts ZS5 13 contacts ZS6 56 contacts In addition to the basic award (WAZS), awards for higher multiples of 100 callsigns are also available. An applicant for a higher award (WAZS-200, WAZS-300 etc.) must meet the minimum call area requirements at the time of application, or must cite the number of his/her previously issued WAZS award. Specific mode and/or band endorsements can be requested. When an applicant applies with a total of more than 200 callsigns, the applicant will be issued with all awards below the actual level. An application with 380 callsigns, for example, will receive the basic WAZS, WAZS-200 and WAZS-300 if they have not already been issued before. Each award at every level will be sequentially numbered. An Honour Roll with the latest scores of all stations above 200 will be published on the SARL Web site, in descending order. Members of this list can apply each time they reach a new award level, or can submit an update once per calendar year, even if a new endorsement level has not been attained. South African applicants should send QSL cards, a list of contact details and a handling and postage charge of R 10,00. This award is free to members of the South African Radio League. Foreign applicants should submit a list of QSL cards, certified by an official of a local radio club or two licenced radio amateurs that have seen the cards. A handling and postage charge of US$ 10,00 or 10 IRCs must also be included.
