[SOC] SOC Membership -- rejected?

[W9EBE]

Thank you for the heads-up, Gene. I shan't get my hopes too high regarding the certificate.

Besides, I still have several certificates, ranging from "Recipient of Most OO Warnings - 1976" to the highly coveted "Remote VOX Triggering by Ringing Absent Operator's Telephone Repeatedly Award - 1983," that have yet to be framed. I'm in no hurry. 

73,

Chip W9EBE
SOC #1053
