I wanted to take a moment to thank you and the NLRS for sponsoring the CQ WW VHF Contest Rover plaque that I won in 2022 and received at the CSVHFS Conference Saturday.  I was very fortunate to have both roved to locations with propagation and had no big-gun high-power rovers to compete against last year, so this is possibly the one and only CQ VHF rover plaque I will ever win!  It is a very nice plaque, and it will always occupy a spot on my hamshack wall.

Thank you also for your role in the CSVHFS Spring Sprints.  I appreciate very much the 144 MHz plaque you mailed me last year and the 222 & 432 MHz plaques I won this year.

These three contests were among 23 consecutive events where I roved between January 2022 and June 2023.  It was quite the ride -- figuratively and literally -- and I am pleased to have these acknowledgements of my efforts.

73,
