THE GIVEAWAY:

The Christmas giveaway will be held ONLINE on our EA7IXM YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@EA7IXM_Radioaficionado.

Our web system randomly chooses the 3 winners and you can see this live on YouTube.

We will inform you of the date of the ONLINE broadcast in our Telegram groups and on our HamRadioDx.es website once the Christmas activity or event is over.

In the activity or event, the activator will provide you with the corresponding point(s) for the contact made and a number for the draw.

You will have all this information available on the website www.HamRadioDx.es

Our website has an AUTOMATIC DRAW system so there are no traps nor is there favoritism.

⚠The cash prizes in the rankings may NOT be repeated.
This means that if a participant comes first in the top 100 of the general ranking, they will not be able to obtain any prize in the other TOP 100.

If, for example, EA7IXM is in first place in the TOP 100 GENERAL and in second place in the top 100 FT8, the TOP 100 FT8 prize would go to the next classified

This gives more possibilities for other participants to also win a prize and not just one person reduces all the possibilities of winning.

The intention of HamRadioDx in giving prizes in these activities, especially at Christmas, is to encourage amateur radio and participation in our activities in addition to giving the opportunity to get a financial prize on these dates where money is so needed.

❗NOTE: Financial prizes may take 1 to 3 months to be fully awarded. They will be awarded to everyone. It is important that once you know that you are the winner of the raffle prize, you contact us by email to the email of our QRZ.com of our special callsign EG7FN

If you do not contact us after a maximum period of 1 month, we will cancel your prize. It is important that you confirm your requested information in order to receive your prize.

ACTIVATORS WANTED:

We also want to invite all those who want to participate as an activator of our activity to participate with us.

The activators will have a prize of €20 for participating as activators if they do a minimum of

1,000 QSOs in the activity.

We will also design a special diploma for those activators who are in positions 1, 2 and 3 of the TOP 10 RANKING of activators.


❗Remember that all prizes are in cash or CASH and that they will be provided to participants as long as they provide us with the necessary information to send or pay said prize.

The payment method for the prizes will have 3 options available, Bank transfer (IBAN), Paypal or Western Union, we DO NOT accept other payment methods.

To do this you must provide us with:

Payment by Transfer: It is necessary to provide Account Number (IBAN) and Name and Surname.

Payment through Wester Union: It is necessary to provide ID or passport number, name and surname and a telephone number.

IMPORTANT: All users who are on our BLACK LIST can participate but will NOT be able to be awarded any cash prize since HamRadioDx.es does not reward stations that defame, insult, slander or go against all the work we do free of charge by and for our hobby, which is amateur radio.

Good luck to everyone and MERRY CHRISTMAS! HO! HO! HO!
