38. On motion of Mr. Isely, seconded by Mr. Fallon, it was VOTED that the  
following resolution be adopted:  

WHEREAS, a group of dedicated 6-meter-band operators has created,  
documented, and specified an award for working all 488 grid squares within the  
continental United States, and  
WHEREAS, this group has presented this information to ARRL for the purpose  
of sponsoring this award as a logical capstone to the VUCC program, and  
WHEREAS, it is believed that confirming QSOs with all 488 USA grid squares  
was accomplished only by the late Mr. Fred Fish, W5FF;  
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the ARRL establish the Fred Fish  
Memorial Award, and  
FURTHERMORE, that this dated and serial-numbered award be given to any  
amateur radio operator who confirms on 6 meters all 488 grids of the  contiguous 
states, and  
FURTHERMORE, that the #1 award be issued posthumously to Fred Fish, W5FF,  
and presented to his wife Lee Fish, K5FF.
