    With Solar Cycle 25 in full swing and the contests of the last three months spurring activity, I am hearing a lot of Australian (VK) stations on the air lately.

The great part is the awards are supported by the Wireless Institute of Australia <www.wiaawards.com/index.php>.

    To keep it simple for reading, I will list all awards and how to submit for the awards offered.
