Finally the hard copy of the Triple Play Award was received from the ARRL. Â It is a nice certificate depicting a baseball diamond. Â The award number issued was 710. Â The certificate is already framed and hanging on the wall.
Last Wednesday, 14 March 2012, I completed the ARRL Triple Play Award. Â To earn this award, one must work all 50 states on Phone, CW, and Digital modes. Â I had all states worked on JT65 last year, completed working all states on Phone last Saturday, and CW on Tuesday. Â All contacts must be confirmed by Logbook of the World (LotW). Â Not being a CW operator, the CW portion was a real challenge and forced me to step outside my comfort zone. Â Anyway, it was fun trying to make the 150 contacts needed for this award.
What am I going to use this blog for? Â I haven’t the foggiest idea. Â I would like to promote my wonderful family, talk some about what I am currently doing in Amateur Radio over the internet, discuss my interest in logic puzzles, and whatever else just might come to mind.
Having never written a blog, this is all new.
