Another Email Certificate

Picture is not very clear but the certificate is from the Split Rock Lighthouse special event held in November.I've participated several years in a row and have received certificates from years past and each one is nice in a different way. Each has a history of the wreck of the "Edmund Fitzgerald" and also pictures of the ship,lighthouse and event participants. It also has My contact information of which I had two QSO's with them this year. All in all a nice momento!

RAC Certificate

I received this certificate thru email from the Radio Amateurs of Canada for My participation in the RAC Winter contest 2011. I won 1st place for the US Zero call area SOLP SSB only. I've participated in this contest for about three years and last year I had more time to operate. Not a huge score to win first place but I was real pleased to receive this award. The winter contest is fun and relaxed and I enjoy it alot. I will definately try to fine the time to operate again this Year. It starts 0000 UTC December 29th and ends 24 hours later .

CK6S QSL & N1MM new version

Received this nice QSL card from My 20m contact with the Calgary Stampede special event station in July of this year.I think this was happening during the same time as the 13 colonies event.
 I also updated My version of N1MM logger from 12.7.1 to the lateset ver 12.10.03. I also downloaded and imported the latest country file-- WL_CTY_DAT.  N1MM logger will bring up the correct website --its under the "tools" menu. Be aware some issues possibly popped up after the recent ARRL Sweepstakes contest so a newer version might be available soon. The programmers for this logging program are very swift to react to any known issues!
