[NLRS] N9LB FFMA Award Completed in LOTW

[Lloyd Berg]

All,

I just heard from ARRL Radio Sport Awards / Sharan Taratula, notifying me
of achieving FFMA #41.  I’ve been working on this operating award since
2009.

Collecting confirmed QSLs from all 488 grids is not simple nor quick and
requires operators in all of those 488 grids.  NLRS members have supplied
contacts from a large number of Midwest grids, and beyond, to me!

I want to thank the many NLRS members and the NLRS organization for their
very significant contributions to VHF operating that supported my progress
towards the FFMA award.

Additionally,

Several NLRS members have traveled long distances operating portable or
rover to supply multiple “rare grids”.  That list includes AC0RA, K0SIX and
W9FZ.  Extra thank-you’s go to these operators!

Also, thank-you for the many telephone congratulations received from AURORA
attendees on Saturday.

73
