[amsat-bb] VUCC # 219

[Ronald Oldham]

I'd like to thank each and every Ham that made this possible. Not only for the contacts but each ham's willingness to provide a QSL card. All of the efforts are greatly appreciated.

Special thanks goes out to Bruce, KK5DO, for his efforts in checking the large stack of cards.

After several e-mails and phone calls the ARRL was able to complete the application and issue the certificate in near record time, slightly less than 3 months! Along with the certificate I received a copy of the grids already worked in a paper format. I'm still trying to get the ARRL to link my LOTW account to the award. I guess I just need to be patient.

Again many thanks for all of the efforts.

one of you
that made this possible.  I couldn't of done it without you.  I especially
like to thank the one that made the dxepedition to many grids during their
vacation or during work or just for fun.  Whether is was a vacation, work or
fun, I know you gave up much desired rest and relaxation so I and many other
could make those rare contacts.  I do really appreciate that.
