[TVARC] Not Just a Certificate

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

Some of you may recall that, incredibly, I managed to become the world-wide
winner of last December's Ten-Meter RTTY Contest.  I did put up my 4-element
yagi  in the backyard for the contest, but still managed only 32 contacts
over the 24 hours.  Conditions were horrible, but I guess they were a little
less horrible into Central Florida than they were in the rest of the world.
Or maybe I was just a little crazier than everyone else for being willing to
knock my head against the wall trying to make QSOs.

 

Well, I just received my award for winning, and it wasn't just another
certificate that the XYL won't let me put on the wall.  I've attached a
photo.  The best part of this now is that, when some non-ham asks, "so what
did you win?", I have something to which they can relate.

 

Not sure if I ever sent this link, but seeing it for a second time won't
hurt:
