SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Effective on 1-1-2010, access to the Online DX Awards Directory is available and FREE to all awards hunters.
     The rules for over 3,300 different awards from 110 DXCC countries are NOW at your fingertips.
     I still really need your help to let me know about changed rules and award fees, new awards, sponsors who don't reply to your applications, dead URL's, etc.
     Welcome, and feel free to explore a fascinating part of our hobby, one which has challenges enough to keep you busy for several lifetimes. A great chance to put your QSL collection to work!

1. I'm the custodian of the USA-County Award sponsored by CQ Magazine and am writing the monthly Awards Column in that magazine. The first column appeared in the January 1998 edition. I will need rules and samples of awards on a pretty regular basis. If your club or group sponsors awards, or you can send me good quality photocopies of awards that you have received, I need good quality samples or copies for this column. This is an excellent chance to gain world wide publicity for your group. Send material to: Ted Melinosky K1BV, 12 Wells Woods Road, Columbia, CT. 06237 USA

2. Foreign Postage - Bill Plum offers a wide variety of mint foreign postage and DXer supplies at competitive rates. Highly recommended.

3. Join the Ham Awards Reflector. ON4CAS has established a special e-mail delivered Reflector for all of us interested in the latest news regarding Awards hunting. This is a great chance to meet other awards hunters and get news about ham awards delivered to your in- box on a daily basis. Follow the link above to get all the information you need.
