Applicants must prove having made contact with the following 31 areas: • One contact with a station in each of the six call areas of South Africa (ZS1 to ZS6). • One contact in each of 25 African countries outside South Africa.
Only contacts with stations on the African continent are valid. African islands and ship-based stations do not count. "Country" means a country according to the DXCC list maintained by the ARRL. Deleted countries also count, if contacts were made while the country existed.
Applicants must prove two way contacts (or SWL reports) with at least 100 South African call signs. The call signs must represent the different call areas as follows: ZS1 16 contacts; ZS2 8 contacts; ZS3 1 contact; ZS4 6 contacts; ZS5 13 contacts; ZS6 56 contacts
Its aim is to encourage more 160 m QSOs with southern African countries. South African stations must submit proof of having contacted at least six different southern African call areas, of which at least five must be in the Republic of South Africa. The sixth contact can be from the remaining South African call area (ZS), or from any of the bordering countries (Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland or Zimbabwe).
