OMISS VOLUNTEER QSL CARD VERIFICATION FORM

This form may be used for verification of QSL Cards for all awards and endorsements offered by the OMISS that require QSL Card Verification. You may have your QSL Cards verified by any two volunteer Amateur Operators who hold the license class of General or higher. This form may then be submitted in lieu of sending QSL Cards and return postage to the OMISS Awards Manager. You must still submit the Award Application and Log Entry form, plus this form. Please carefully follow the instructions below to avoid your application being sent back to you for any necessary corrections. Note: The Awards Manager may still call for a spot-check of any cards of any applicant for any award for any reason the Awards Manager feels necessary. Failure to comply with such a courtesy check will result in the return of your application.

Please supply your Volunteer Card Checker with your log reporting sheet(s) listing the contacts to be used to qualify for this award.

To the Volunteer Card Checkers: Thank you for helping a fellow ham submit for an award with the OMISS Net. You will be saving the station some postage, in addition to the peace of mind knowing that their valuable QSL Cards will not be forever lost in the US Postal system. You should be presented with a Log Entry Sheet with all of the calls dates, times, and other related information of the calls qualifying for the award the member is applying for. This log should match the QSL Cards which the member will submit to you for verification. Please carefully inspect the Log Entry Sheet against the QSL Cards to be sure of the following:

1. All cards are present and accurately match the Log Entry Sheet.
2. All cards are addressed to the station applying for the award.
3. There are no erasures, line-outs, or write-overs of any of the logged information on the QSL Cards.
4. There is no missing information or blanks not filled in on the QSL Cards.

For WAS-type awards: All entries must be listed in alphabetical order by state.

For DX-type awards: Enter name of country of station worked in column marked "additional information." List alphabetically by country.

* The Volunteer Card Checker does not need to verify that the contacts took place on OMISS Net Frequencies and Net Times, as this function will still be carried out by the OMISS Awards Manager.
