These appointments are made to individuals affiliated with ARRL Special Service Clubs (SSCs). Each SSC may appoint one HF awards manager, who will be responsible for checking cards and certifying WAS and 5BWAS awards applications.

In order to become an HF awards manager, an officer of your local SSC must send a letter to: ARRL Awards Desk, 225 Main St., Newington, CT 06111, or an e-mail to awards@arrl.org, with the following information: the appointee's name and call sign, address, home and/or work telephone number, and e-mail address, if available. Once we receive this, we will send the new appointee the necessary instruction forms and materials.

Note: For information on how your club can become an SSC, please contact clubs@arrl.org.
