5. Castle Activations

Activation: Each valid operation has to take place from a
distance not exceeding 1000 meters (1km) from the castle. 
Foreign radio-amateurs who like to activate a castle are required to 
announce the activity by sending an email to castlehttp://www.rlx.lu/pics/at_blk12.gifrlx.lu at 
least 3 days before the event for validation. 
Members of the RL must leave a notification in the RL Forum
 ( LX Castle Award Forum ) to make the activations known to
the public no later then 5 days after the activation.

Exceptions: Those LX radio-amateurs, members of the RL, living in
a town with a castle are valid for this castle. To see which callsigns are
valid, please check the LX Castle Callbook.


Castle Activation Example
Illustration 1

Example: Any activation of a castle can be done in the inner limits of the
Activation Zone as shown on illustration1. Whereas the castle is situated
in Town A, the Activation Zone is valid 1 km around the castle. Therefore
also the part of the zone that is located on the Town B territory counts for
the castle for mobile or portable operations. Any Radio Amateur who
lives in Town A counts for the castle, however a Radio Amateur living in
Town B does not count for the castle, even if his shack is located in the
Activation Zone.

6. Miscellanous
The RL will publish a list of special events and activations on its website.
A national castle activation day will be held once a year to promote the award.
