Moderated WAS awards and EME

Are EME QSOs valid for WAS mixed, by-band, and by-mode awards?

Is there a WAS EME endorsement?

Hello Dave,

Yes, EME contacts count toward WAS and DXCC, and count for band and/or mode.

There is no EME endorsement.

Due to antenna physical size limitations, most EME contacts take place at 50 MHz and above.

With benefit of EME, WAS has been earned on 144, 222, 432 and 1296 MHz (and DXCC on 144 and 432 MHz). To see a list of 50 MHz and Up WAS Award recipients see 

See www.arrl.org/was for WAS rules, and application form showing band/mode award options, etc.
