最近我准备申请奖状,从arrl的网站(
http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html#si15d )上看,申请奖状的费用好像和这个帖子前面说的不一样了。把部分内容翻译如下,不知道我的理解是否正确。还望有经验的、英文好的朋友指正一下。
现在,我的理解是,我需要缴付40美元,其中22美元是申请奖状的更名费(我觉得叫开户费可能更好,如果dxcc是一个俱乐部的话,叫入会注册费也可以),另外18元是回寄卡片的邮资(这里参考了4sdb的例子:航空邮费9.25美元+挂号7.50美元)。
下面15d)里并没有提到海外非arrl会员也要受120的数量限制,而其它条款里面对120都有特别的强调。这样似乎我一次交验卡片数量超过120的部分也不需额外付费。我想,arrl这样规定的本意是想海外申请者把卡片集中起来,每年只寄一次,这样可以减少他们处理卡片的次数。
15. fees. all amateurs applying for their very first dxcc award will be charged a one-time registration fee. for arrl members this fee is $12. for foreign non-arrl members this fee is $22. all first time applicants will receive one free dxcc certificate and lapel pin. applicants must provide adequate return postage for qsl cards.
15、费用,首次申请dxcc奖状的所有业余爱好者要缴纳一次性的更名费。对arrl会员,这个费用是12美元。对海外(指美国以外)非arrl会员,这个费用是22美元。所有首次申请人将免费收到一张dxcc奖状和一个胸牌。申请人必须提供足够的回寄卡片的邮资。
a) a $12.00 fee will be charged for each additional dxcc certificate issued, whether new or replacement.
a)无论是新申请还是补发,每多发放一个dxcc奖状,需要多缴12美元。
b) applications may be presented in person at arrl hq, and at certain arrl conventions. when presented at conventions in this manner, such applications shall be limited to 120 qsos maximum, and an additional $7.00 fee will apply. applications processed "while-you-wait" at arrl hq will be accessed an additional $9.00 fee.
b)申请可以向arrl总部提交,也可以在某次arrl大会上提交。在大会上提交的的申请,最多只能提交120个qso,而且需要额外缴付7美元。按"while-you-wait"(这里可能是中国人说的“立等可取”)方式在arrl总部直接申请的,需额外缴付9美元。
c) each arrl member will be charged $12.00 plus postage for the first submission of the year, up to 120 qsos.
c)一年内的首次交验卡片,arrl会员要为此缴付12美元和邮费,用于处理多至120个qso(意思是:少于120个qso,也要交12美元,而多于120个以外的部分,需另外收费)
d) foreign non-arrl members will be charged $22.00 plus postage for their first submission in a calendar year. fees in 15. a), 15. b), and 15. d), and 15. f) also apply.
d)在同一个阳历年内的首次交验卡片,海外非arrl会员要为此缴付22美元和邮费。15a)、15b)、15d)和15f)所述的各种费用是独立计收的。(这里的首次交验卡片似乎是指“入会”时的首次申请以外的,其它的每年首次申请,这时候22美元只是验卡片的费用,奖状不是免费的,要按15a收费)
e) a $0.15 fee will be charged for each qso credited beyond the limits described in 15. b), 15. c), and 15. f).
e)超过15b)、15c)和15f)所说的限额,每多一个qso,需要多支付0.15美元的费用。
f) dxcc participants who wish to submit more than once in a calendar year will be charged an additional $10 fee for each second or subsequent application. the fees for a second or subsequent submission in a calendar year are $22 for arrl members and $32 for foreign non-arrl members. for a limited time, no additional $10 fee is charged for second and subsequent applications if lotw credits are included. the $10 application fee still applies. return postage must be provided by applicant. charges from 15. a), 15. b) and 15. d) apply.
f)在同一个阳历年里,希望多次交验卡片的dxcc成员需要为第二次及以后的申请每次额外付10美元。这个费用对于arrl会员是22美元,而对海外非arrl会员则是32美元……
