Hi Pete -- When I put up the URL off of my web site, Ray hadn't yet put the rules on the ER site. Mine was only temporary. I've already emailed Ray to change the ER site. Once that's done, I'll remove the information off of my site.
There are no stickers etc. However, WAS-AM #2 was done all on 6 meters, and I put that on the certificate. If there is enough participation in the award, and folks want stickers etc, we'll gladly look into it. WAC-AM Has already been discussed between Ray and I. 73 Mark K3ZX ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Markavage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 4:39 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] CQ Montana! > 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.
