[Elecraft] OT: 50 years

[Gary Harrison]

Hi Al & group,

QCWA maintains a library of old Callbook dating back to about 1913 when the 
Department of Commerce produced a complete list of stations.  Pretty small 
book!  All member applications are verified by the two person HQ staff.  It 
helps to have an approximate year to start the search since this is a 
manual effort.  You just need the original call and best guess on the year.

Congratulations!  There is an award for members available from QCWA for 50 
years.  You got me by 10 years.

73,
Gary K0BC (former QCWA President)
