Sponsorship Conditions
UKSMG DXpedition Sponsorship
If you are planning a DXpedition and would like our help, the UKSMG is pleased to consider applications for sponsorship. To be considered, we would expect the DXpedition to meet the following conditions.
Sponsorship Requirements
1
The 6m station should be given at least equal priority to other bands. The UKSMG will favour DXpeditions that are either fully dedicated to 6m or at least have a dedicated 6m operator.
2
In general, the UKSMG will only support DXpeditions to countries that are considered 'rare' or where 6m has not been previously activated during the current solar cycle.
3
The DXpedition agrees to provide UKSMG with a 50MHz-focused expedition report and/or photographs for inclusion in Six News. We would also hope to work with major expeditions regarding the possibility of a presentation at a future UKSMG event.
4
5
The DXpedition agrees to include mention of UKSMG sponsorship in pre-trip promotional material.
6
The DXpedition should operate in a professional manner that does not bring the UKSMG into disrepute.
7
The DXpedition should operate the 6m station in line with host-country licence terms and all current and accepted 6m operating practices.
8
The DXpedition agrees to QSL direct all valid requests received with IRC / SAE in a timely manner. Bureau QSL is optional, but must be clearly stated.
If the DXpedition is to QSL solely via LoTW, this must be clearly stated in the supporting literature.
