[AMRadio] CQ Montana!

[Peter Markavage]

Mark:
I thought I had read that somewhere, maybe the AM Forum or AM Window
boards or maybe in some text ER, but couldn't put my finger on it. All I
had was the info on the ER site. Are you doing "endorsement stickers" for
specific bands or is each certificate going to be uniquely defined? Your
next step is WAC-AM.
