BARTG was established 60 years ago and to celebrate this anniversary the group is running a special award. The callsign GB60ATG is being activated week by week from one of the seven UK countries and the logs uploaded to Hamlogs.net. Each activation works as many bands and digital modes as possible and one point is awarded for each band/mode slot across all bands 160m to 70cm thus making 12 band slots per mode and with operations on FT8, FT4, RTTY, PSK, JT65, JT9 and others then up to 72 band slots per country are possible. This is not as easy as it seems but can be achieved within the year to 30th June 2020. Certificates for single or mixed modes can be applied for with Bronze (20 slots), Silver (40), Gold (60) and of course Diamond (75) being available by application to the BARTG Awards Manager. When and where the callsign is used is given on the Diamond Jubilee schedule page on the BARTG website at http://bartg.org.uk/wp/gb60atg-schedule/
