Argh!! Pete, those are old rules!! I need to have Ray update the site!!!
Initially, the date was 1/1/2001. However, Ray and I found out that ER had previously offered a WAS AM award, and it started 1/1/1995. Since there were people already working on the WAS award, and since our "new" award was really a rebirth of the initial award, we decided to have the starting date be the same, 1/1/1995. I issued ER WAS #2 last June, and a lot of the contacts were prior to 1/1/2001. I'll email Ray ASAP and have him correct his web page. 73 Mark K3ZX (ER Awards Mgr) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Markavage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 12:51 AM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] CQ Montana! > > The first 4 paragraphs defining the WAS-AM award from the ER web site are > reprinted below mt signature.
