[Marty]

Drew,

Sounds interesting, but I will be out of town at the NC State H.O.G. Rally on the Outer Banks.

I will be at the meeting tomorrow night, do you know if anyone is going to dinner first?

Marty

ubject: [ETS/PARC List] Special Guest & Presentation at Sept 28 ETSNJ
eeting
We will have a special guest at Septembers ETS of NJ meeting.
Mr. Peter Dougherty W2IRT is the vice president of the North Jersey DX
ssociation and an ARRL appointed Card Checker for the region.
e will be on hand at the Sept 28th meeting to check QSL cards for those
ursuing DXCC, WAS, WAC or VUCC  awards.
He will also have a short power point presentation on the incoming QSL
ureau system as administered by the North Jersey DX Association.
Members are encouraged to attend, especially if you have cards that need to
e checked or have questions.
I asked W2IRT about the idea of having cards check for future awards-
         "As for checking cards for future awards, that's tricky. If someone
lready has the basic award (Worked All States, DXCC, VUCC, etc) and they
ant to work on *another* award, that's OK.many folks including yours truly
ave done exactly that. For example, if you have your DXCC on Mixed or SSB
ut you want to count a handful of QSLs for a 20m award or a CW award, etc,
hat's OK. On the other hand, if someone only has 50 countries in total,
hat can't be checked; he/she must have at least 100 for a first-ever
pplication. Likewise, if someone has their basic Worked All States, but
ants to build a CW-only WAS, that's OK. But if they only have 49 states
onfirmed I can't check those 49; they'd have to wait until all 50
onfirmations are received.
If anybody *does* have cards to check, I'd greatly appreciate if they could
ave the paperwork done and cards sorted ahead of time. The ARRL is very
pecific about record order and will reject an application that's not filled
ut to their own satisfaction (it's not all that important to me, but it is
o the ARRL). Award fees are also payable at the time of checking (payable
o the ARRL, not to me); cash, cheque or credit card
uthorization."****
