[RMVHF] Fwd: [VHF] The Fred Fish Memorial Award

[Sean Kutzko]

Nate-
   
  I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, so if you are, please accept my apologies. :)
   
  If you're serious, I'm afraid you mis-read the rule. You don't have to make every QSO within 200km of the grid you're trying to work, you need to make sure all the QSOs you make are made from wtihin the same 200km area. Basically, this means you need to make all the QSOs from your home QTH (or reasonably close to it). If you live in Colorado and work some needed grids while on vacation in Florida, those QSOs do not count towards your grid total.
   
  This is how VUCC has worked, and so it will work with the FFMA.
   
  Cheers,

Holy crap! LOL...

I don't think I'll ever have enough gas and time to ever finish that 
one!!!

Talk about an achievement, though -- whew! All grid squares, but you 
have to move to within 200 km of every one before you make the contact?

Wowzers... I think I'd need about a lifetime to even START on that! 
But I'm sure with some planning and prep one could figure out the 
mimimum number of vehicle moves necessary to get it done and then 
start drumming up contacts in those grids YEARS in advance.

(Time for some stunned silence... did Fred actually DO this? Wow. 
Was he a traveling salesman, or truck driver or own a helicopter or 
something? Haha...)

Well anyway, no disrespect meant... never knew him, but RIP Fred... 
sounds like you were a 6m "operator extraordinaire"...
