[Qcwa] Re: 70 Year Award

[Tommye & Jim Wilhite]

Joe:

Back when I joined QCWA paper logs of contacts were acceptable proof
of license date.  I am not sure now, but cannot think of a reason why
they would not be accepted.

I provided a QSL card for my proof because I did not have either my
original license nor logs.
