2013-08-09 Thread Bruce
As the AMSAT server is being rebuilt, I have just rebuilt all the AMSAT 
award pages. You can reach them by going to amsat.org and clicking on 
Services. You will find Awards under the drop down. At the bottom of the 
main page is a link to all the award recipients. This information will 
be the same information that appears on my website. I will keep them 
both up to date.

[amsat-bb] AMSAT Awards now accepts RAC Canadaward

2011-03-18 Thread Bruce
In keeping up with technology and limiting duplication of work, AMSAT 
Awards will now accept a scanned copy the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) 
CANADAWARD for satellites as proof of working the 13 valid Canadian 
Provinces.

They are:
VE1/VA1 Nova Scotia
VE2/VA2 Quebec
VE3/VA3 Ontario
VE4/VA4 Manitoba
VE5/VA5 Saskatchewan
VE6/VA6 Alberta
VE7/VA7 British Columbia
VE8 Northwest Territories
VE9 New Brunswick
VO1/2 Newfoundland and Labrador
VY0 Nanavut
VY1 Yukon
VY2 Prince Edward

This will make it easier for everyone to submit either or both, ARRL 
Worked All States / RAC CANADAWARD and not have to scan all those cards 
and have me check them a second time.

[amsat-bb] AMSAT Awards

2009-11-24 Thread Bruce
I have been a bit busy and have not updated the awards in some time 
(like since the end of August).

Would you like to take a walk down memory lane? When I took over the 
AMSAT Awards in 2001, I entered the certificates back to #215 for the 
Satellite Communication Achievement Award. I found an old list dated 
1988 today and have I have filled in all the certificates on my website 
back to Number 1. Sorry, the dates they were issued were not on the list 
for all of them. But it appears that the first ones were issued around 
1975. I recognized two of the early calls... K2ZRO and W2RS.
