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.
