Message-ID: Bry: Never did the NRR before, but did do the original NR. Its a little too early to commit for sure, but it is a 2 weekend week long event, and only one weekend has a contest I generally participate in, so I'm in. . I'll register. Not sure about rig yet. I'll see if I can dust off something, otherwise I'll be on with my FLEX. BTW, I checked to see how many other WV's there are, and there are a decent number, BUT, you will notice mine is NOT a vanity call Licensed in 1961 as WV, got a WA within a year, but when the FCC stopped issuing Novice calls, there was still a blank on the 610 where one could ask for a call previously held. I asked for the WV back on a renewal, and it came back WV.Special bonus station? That'd be nice, but I should be grouped in with the WN/KNs, just expand it to include WVs. BTW, only the W2 and W6 and KV (Carribean) areas issued WVs. for novices There were also WH6 (HI) and WL7s (AK) out west, and I don't know what they did about Guam. --Mike, WV2ZOW On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 10:20 AM, Bry Carling wrote: > I think we should make you a special bonus station for the NRR.

Message-ID: Thank you that sounds great. Running the flex will not be a problem whatsoever. Anybody can use any rig they want. You only get bonus points for running the old pre-1972 novice equipment.
