Worked All Britain is a renowned amateur radio award program that challenges
operators
to make radio contacts with designated locations throughout the British Isles.
The primary objective of WAB is to encourage radio communication across
different regions of the UK,
fostering camaraderie among operators and promoting geographic diversity in
amateur radio activities.
The origins of WAB can be traced back to the mid-20th century when a group of
amateur radio enthusiasts came together
with the idea of creating a unique award program that celebrates radio
communication within the British Isles.
Since its inception, WAB has grown into one of the most popular and prestigious
award programs in the amateur radio community,
attracting participants from all corners of the UK and beyond.
Participating in WAB offers amateur radio operators an exciting and rewarding
experience. It involves making radio contacts,
or "working," with designated locations, known as "squares," which are
geographical areas defined by a unique alphanumeric code.
These squares cover a wide range of locations, including towns, villages,
islands,
and other distinctive landmarks across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern
Ireland, and the Isle of Man.
The WAB program encompasses various award categories and achievement levels,
providing participants with a range of goals to strive for.
Whether you're a newcomer to amateur radio or an experienced operator, there's
something for everyone in WAB,
from collecting basic square references to pursuing prestigious awards for
exceptional achievement.
Furthermore, WAB is more than just an award program—it's a thriving community of
amateur radio enthusiasts
who share a passion for radio communication and exploration.
Through WAB, operators have the opportunity to connect with like-minded
individuals, exchange experiences and knowledge,
and forge lasting friendships across the UK amateur radio community.
