FT8 Digital Mode Club Awards

Noticed on the QRZ page of someone I worked on FT8 a list of various awards from FT8DMC, so a bit of googling found the FT8 Digital Modes Club. https://www.ft8dmc.eu/

Joined up and got issued with a certificate. Joining is free.


To claim the awards, found I need to apply using software called UAAC, or Ultimate Award Application Center. Downloaded this from the European PSK Club website. This is actually used for checking and issuing awards for several organizations. Selected FT8DMC


After filling in my user data, callsign and membership number, imported in an adif file of all my FT8 contacts and let it work out what awards I can claim.

Only 1 so far, WAJCA, Worked All Japan Call Area, for working JA0-JA9. Results as follows
