<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Hello NCDXA,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just received my 160 WAS certificate....long time coming....I had 48 states in 1985....then some life changes derailed me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My recent goal was to get the award via all states on LoTW which I completed with Washington state and Wyoming in the recent 160 DX Contest.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The ARRL did a very fast turnaround to issue my award, and I received it in Wednesday's mail. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am # 1,912 to get the award. Seems like a very small number to me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I asked them to make it out to: W3ICM, Fredrick Matos, Honoring VE7BS. I was surprised that they did it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>VE7BS, now a SK, was Bob Eldrige, an old friend from my ITU days back in the 1980s. Bob was a 160 meter expert, giving lectures on the subject.</div>
