Mark: I thought I had read that somewhere, maybe the AM Forum or AM Window boards or maybe in some text ER, but couldn't put my finger on it. All I had was the info on the ER site. Are you doing "endorsement stickers" for specific bands or is each certificate going to be uniquely defined? Your next step is WAC-AM.
