Event com­mem­o­ra­tive stick­ers will be pre­sent­ed to par­tic­i­pants who com­plete a min­i­mum of 20 con­tacts with JA sta­tions and sub­mit their logs. The stick­er fea­tures an illus­tra­tion based on that year’s Chi­nese zodi­ac ani­mal. Sub­mit your elec­tron­ic log to receive a free dig­i­tal sticker.
