Captain James Cook Award

NZART established the Captain James Cook award to commemorate the voyages of this world-famous navigator and seaman. In his three voyages to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779, Cook sailed thousands of miles across largely uncharted areas of the globe. He mapped lands from New Zealand to Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean in great detail. The award requires contacts with stations based in the areas where Cook stopped during his expeditions. It is awarded in three classes.

• The “Sailor Class” award requires contacts with; a G station in Yorkshire, FO, ZL2, VK2, and Hawaii KH6.
• The “Officer Class” award requires all the “Sailor Class” contacts plus contacts with ZL1, ZL3, ZL4, VK3, VK4, P2 New Guinea, and any Antarctic station.
• The “Commander Class” award requires all the “Officer Class” contacts plus any five of the following seven countries: VE2, VO, A35, YJ8, FK8, CE8, KL7.

To apply for the award please send the Awards Manager a list of your valid contacts. State the level of the award that you
are applying for, Sailor, Officer, or Commander. The certificate can be endorsed if all contacts are on a single band or
mode.
