Certificate of Merit

The Araucaria Dx Group, from Brazil, has developed a program of a Certificate of Merit with the intention of incentivating and honoring the practice of Hamradio Competition on worldwide basis. This program has been started in 1989, and till now 60 radio amateurs received these certificate.
