------------------------

To celebrate the tercentenary, Uppsala radio club (SK5DB) activates a special call sign, SC5L, and a diploma for the occasion, DIPLOMA LINNAEUS. (The diploma is printed on slight structured light yellow thick paper. Very nice!) Look at a sample at http://www.sk5db.se/filer/DiplomaLinnaeus_sample.pdf

Contacts with SC5L (5 points) and other Swedish call signs (1-3 points depending on first two letters in call sign) in the period of 28 January 2007 to 26 June 2007 is valid for the diploma. Unique contacts on band, mode and month gives you points.

The diploma has three levels: Student (at least one contact with SC5L and minimum 23 points, easy), Master (min. 3 valid QSOs with SC5L and at least 100 points, harder) and Professor (min. 7 valid QSOs with SC5L and at least 300 points, very, very hard). We hope you apply for the diploma!

QSL will be sent automatically for unique first contacts (band/mode). QSL is not needed for the diploma, but if you want to send a QSL to us, use the bureau. We only want QSL for your first contact with SC5L. If you like our activation and have learned something about Uppsala and Carl Linnaeus, please let us now!
