These are presented to hunters who successfully work the same references 10, 20, 30, 40 , 50, 60, 70 ,80, 90 and 100 times. Hunters must keep track of how many times you’ve worked the reference yourself, by using your awards statistics page, then make your claim via email at englishcastlesawards@gmail.com letting us know your callsign, the reference number you are claiming for and how many times you’ve worked the reference in multiples of 10.
