CASS AWARD ---> Presented annually, the Cass Award honours  the  wisdom  and
spirit of Cass WA6AUD  (SK)  and  encourages  DXPeditions  to  maximize  the
number  of  DXers  worked  with  a  $1000  prize  for  the   Single-Operator
DXpedition that works the most unique callsigns. The  2013  Cass  Award  has
been won by Peri Monioudis, HB9IQB: "While QRV from the Palestine  as  E44PM
in  August  2013,  Peri  worked  6696  unique  stations  over    his  11-day
DXpedition, demonstrating an outstanding effort to log as  many  individuals
as possible and setting a new Single-Operator Cass Award record".  Swiss  DX
Foundation President Stephan Walder, HB9DDO presented Peri with  his  plaque
and prize at the group's annual meeting on 8 March. If  you  are  interested
in competing for - or contributing to - the 2014 Cass  Award,  please  visit
