[WVDXA] WVDXA Badges

[Clark L. Stewart]

Hal,

      I've been so busy I never managed to get back to your first 
email.  First, let me thank you for taking the initiative on this and 
"gettin' 'er done!"  That is a quality that will make you a good candidate 
for the job of WVDXA President at our next election!

      Like Dave, I like No. 7 (with option "B" for 6-M DXCC.)

      Are you making a "bulk" order of the 12 badges or does everyone just 
need to order their own?

      Also, will everyone's badge be the same or are they "individual" ones 
depending on which you like best?

      OK, just re-read the email and I "think" I understand that everyone 
can get their own "individual" design.  Sorry for the confusion.  This 
stuff happens when you get older and I just passed 6 decades on the planet 
so as the personal odometer turned over to a new first digit, I find things 
are getting a bit fuzzy around the edges!

      Can't manage the WVQP this year as Evelyn has me scheduled for a H.S. 
Reunion.  But, I'll try to dabble a bit in the VHF contest.  Managed to 
throw up a 6-M Inverted-V last night and made a couple of QSO's with 
Florida so it does work.  I hope everyone has a fine weekend on the radio 
regardless of which contest you enter.


Clark, W8TN
