Specialty pins

A pin marks a qualified commitment to one field, such as CW, phone, digital modes, satellites or running nets. A mission is a race. A pin is a career track, with no time limit apart from a minimum number of days.

  1. Open the Pins page and open a pin to see its tasks.
  2. Choose Begin qualification. You can have two under way at once.
  3. Keep operating. Only contacts you log after you begin count, and they can count toward a mission too.
  4. When every task and the minimum span are met, the pin is awarded and appears on your service record.
  • You can withdraw a qualification at any time without penalty.
  • Some pins ask for a few verified exchanges with other members.
