[50mhz] [FFMA] FFMA #4 goes to Mark Ammann, KM0A... Not so fast!

ALL:

PLEASE NOTE that my wording of the subject line in this announcement was, like that well-known report of Mark Twain’s death, somewhat exaggerated. 

Obviously, the award has not yet been made to Mark by ARRL as Mark hasn’t yet received and submitted the final few QSL cards. No award will be officially made until this has occurred. “Doing the paperwork” may be a boring detail after the climactic moment of finally nailing the last grid, but it is a crucial and absolutely necessary detail. My apologies to the ARRL Awards Branch for getting ahead of myself.  :-0

It is with great excitement and pleasure that I announce the attainment of FFMA #4 (claimed worked) by Mark Ammann, KM0A. Mark’s 488th and final grid square was provided Saturday by Barry, KS7DX, operating maritime mobile from CM93xx, anchored at Santa Rosa Island off the coast of California. Mark now has just a few QSLs to collect and get checked/validated by ARRL, and he’ll be ready to claim his award.

Many congrats and kudos to Mark for this lifetime operating achievement. Details of the when and where of the presentation of Mark’s FFMA plaque will be announced as soon as decided.
