2. All contacts must be from the New Zealand mainland or surrounding islands.
3. Certificates are available for working 100, 200, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, or 4000 sub-squares.
4. Eligible contacts must date January 1, 2000 or later.
5. Any operator on a “Century Award DXpedition” whether mobile or portable may claim the sub-square for their own credit.
6. The Log Sheet is available from the Awards Manager awards@nzart.org.nz.

Maidenhead Grid maps are available from several online sources. The map at https://dxcluster.ha8tks.hu/hamgeocoding/ shows grid locators. You can zoom in to get the six digit locator. The ‘Maidenhead’ app available for iOS phones will supply
your current Maidenhead grid locator to six or eight digits. http://www.levinecentral.com/ham/grid_square.php will show the grid for an entered callsign or address.
