Hi Folks,

In the past, I have updated the Custom Awards database every 2-3
months.  This year I am trying to update more often.  Here is why...

    https://dx4win.ad1c.us/awards/index.html#history

I am trying to work Parks on the Air as they are spotted
(https://parksontheair.com).  The list of parks is constantly
changing, and often activators are putting out newly-added parks,
which I can't log completely because they aren't in the Custom Awards
database yet.  So I make a note in my log then go back after the
database has been updated and fill out the Custom Award values for
these parks.  It's not a big deal to do this.

I use the same Custom Awards database as everyone else, i.e. the last
one that I released.  Though I easily could, I do not use pre-release
versions.  This motivates me to release updates instead of sitting on
them.

If you are chasing a custom award whose counters (Custom Award Values)
are updated more frequently then the Custom Awards database itself,
please let me know.  Otherwise I will try to keep releasing updates
about once/month.
