Find here an explanation of the PVRC Olympic Award Program & its Current Rules
Welcome to the PVRC Olympics, where your PVRC activities can earn a PVRC Olympic Award!
The main goal of the PVRC Olympics is to encourage, broaden, and reward participation in PVRC 5M contests and other club activities such as the PVRC Reunion On The Air (June).
The PVRC Olympics is an annual program running concurrently with the PVRC 5M Award program throughout our contest year (July – June). Each year, all PVRC members start the Olympics with a ‘clean slate’ and a chance to earn a PVRC Olympic Award. Awards have been “medals” tinted gold, silver and bronze.
The current Rules are:
