[amsat-bb] Rules for AMSAT Awards updated

[Bruce]

A few months ago we added Washington, DC counting the same as a state. 
Today, we continued to align our awards with the ARRL. Our rules stated 
contacts had to be made within 25 miles or 40 kilometers from your home 
location. We have now amended the rules to read within 50 miles or 80 
kilometers. This should be more beneficial for those that have moved to 
a new QTH.
