[PPRAANet] [Gmc] Shocking UPS Package from ARRL

[Dick-W0RAA]

Hi Chuck.  Thanks.  

I will definitely be sending a Thank You to the ARRL & also to Icom.  I need to get the proper e-mail addresses.  I assume I will use the contest branch e-mail for the League, and I will check the Icom web site to determine their address.  It's on my list of things to do tomorrow.  If you have the two addresses I wouldn't mind having you send them to me.  If you don't, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find the right ones.  

It's nice that the ARRL is catching up on getting the plaques and certificates sent out, albeit late.  Still, they are making a good effort, and I feel confident that others in the Denver/Springs and Colorado will be receiving mail from them.  

I had completely forgotten that I had entered that particular contest. But I will sure consider it in November again, the Good Lord willing.  

Thanks for your comments.  I appreciate them.  

73,

It's good to see ARRL HQ Contest Division admit that they had fallen badly behind, and that they intend to greatly reduce the suspense times for certificates and plaques.
