NEWINGTON, CT, June 22, 2001--The Membership Services Department Awards Branch has just introduced a new version of the Extra Class License Certificate. This newly designed certificate acknowledges the achievements of recent Extra Class operators as well as those who made the grade long ago. The size is approximately 8 ½ x 11 inches and is suitable for framing. The cost is $7.50 for ARRL members and $10.00 for non-members.
One of the most exciting facets of Amateur Radio operating is awards chasing. The League sponsors some of the more popular operating awards such as DXCC, WAS, A-1 Operator Club, and the Code Proficiency Program, to name a few. In addition to awards, ARRL also issues plaques recognizing 50 and 60-year continuous membership in the ARRL, Life Membership, and those who have achieved 5BDXCC. For more information, see the ARRL Web, or mail a request with a business-size self-addressed stamped envelope to: Eileen Sapko, ARRL Headquarters, 225 Main Street, Newington, CT 06111.
