  • 1 point for each message handled; maximum 40.

My station Originated Messages from 3rd parties this month.

Sent: Every message sent over the air from your station to another amateur receives a point in this category. Thus, a message that is eligible for an Originated point as above receives another point when it is sent on the air.

Likewise, a message that is received on the air conveys a Sent point when it is relayed to another station. A message that you initiate yourself, while it gets no Originated point, gets a Sent point when cleared. All Sent points require on-the-air sending.

My station Sent Messages over the air this month.

Received: A message received over the air gets a Received point, whether received for relaying (sending) or for delivery to the addressee. Any message received which is not eligible for a Delivery point (such as one addressed to yourself) is nevertheless eligible for a Received point.

My station Received Messages over the air this month.

Delivered: The act of delivery of a message to a third party receives a point in this category, in addition to a Received point. This is strictly an off-the-air function and must be coupled with receipt of the message at your station. Thus you can’t get a Delivered point unless you first get a Received point.

These operators would be able to qualify for Category 5 points if the event lasted for 1 hour.
