New awards & announcement.

[Larry Makoski W2LJ]

To all Elecrafters,

Due to the inspiration of Arnold Olean KØZK, I am happy to announce two
new Elecraft Awards.  Arnold has already earned the first and is the
proud owner of certificate #001.

The new award that Arnold has earned is the Elecraft "50 in 50" Award.  
This is earned by using your Elecraft rig(s) to work another Elecraft
rig in each of the 50 United States.  This does not replace the existing
Elecraft Worked All States Award - it just brings it to a new and
separate level.

In the same vein, I am also announcing the new Elecraft "100 in 100"
Award.  This award can be earned by using your Elecraft rig(s) to work
another Elecraft rig in 100 different DXCC entities (as defined by the
ARRL DXCC department).  Again, this does not replace the existing
Elecraft Century Club Award.  This one is totally different and
introduces an exciting new challenge.  Is it possible to even achieve
this award?  As Elecraft becomes more and more popular around the globe;
and as we have seen Elecraft rigs being taken on major DXpeditions - the
answer has to be "yes"; but it will be a challenge!

Full details on how to apply will be forthcoming in the next few days.  
For now, the application for the "50 in 50" Award will be the same as
for the basic "Elecraft Worked All States" Award with the added
provision that you must supply the model and serial number of each
Elecraft rig that you have worked.

I welcome any and all comments, questions and suggestions - please
contact me off list via [hidden email]

73 es happy operating!
Larry W2LJ
Your Humble Awards Admin. Guy

In an effort to promote Larry's ,W2LJ, 100 in 100 DXCC
diploma, and it just so happens I am in Mexico
extremely often on business, I have my K2 #4409 built
by Don W3FPR up and active from (right now) the 40th
floor hotel here in Mexico City.


Planned Operation Dates: March 7-16th
Evenings on 20,30,40m  .035-045 of the bands on CW and
on SSB on .195-.205. I can do other bands 10-80
Times: 00:00UTC to about 05:00UTC

I plan on being active from a park bench or a better
operating location for the EQP that is supposedly this
weekend. (I am going to ask for access to the
Heli-pad! That should be a nice ground plane!

I will be active from XE2 (Northen Mexico)next week so
you may  even work a different XE zone as well.

Rig: K2 #4409 using internal battery and Smart Charger
Antenna: MP-1

Hopefully, the bands will allow for me to work other
Elecraft owners/rigs and and hand out what should be
an "easy" DXCC entity for other QRP/Elecraft
enthusiasts on both modes.

Operating times and days may vary as I have a 10Gb
optical network to  finish up so my real-work may
supersede operating!

73 and I hope to work you
