The Grids On The Air programme will soon start offering awards in recognition of outstanding performance in 'the fine DX art of gridsquare chasing'. Unlike the ongoing challenge activity, which accepts submissions based on trust, in order to qualify for awards participants will have to submit proof of confirmation for the QSOs, certainly through ARRL’s Logbook Of The World and possibly through other means.

Details of the requirements are being discussed and complete instructions will be issued soon.

- A digital GOTA Chaser award for 500 Grid Squares confirmed.

- A GOTA DX Excellence plaque for 1,000 Grid Squares confirmed.

Mode, band and continent-specific awards will be introduced at a later stage.
