Thanks to the contributions of many DXers who submitted sample copies of
John's artwork, Rob Ross' continuing (and superb) volunteer work to review
applications, and a crash course here in Adobe Photoshop processing techniques,
the Ultralight Awards Committee (Rob and I) is now prepared to issue any of
the diverse Award Certificates previously designed and sent out by John
Bryant.
The two highest Award Levels ("Master DXer" and "Centurian" awards)
have yet to be issued by our restored committee, but we look forward to honoring
those DXers who succeed in chasing ULR-DX at the highest level-- and are more
than prepared to give them these "gold medals" of Ultralight DXing!.
Although I was not personally one of the DXers who applied for many of
John's certificates (and was occasionally chastised in a friendly manner
because of this), I had recently qualified for the Centurian Award by receiving
100 stations from Asia, and now certainly wish that John had received my
application (since we were very close in chasing TP's with Ultralight
radios).
Thanks very much to the DXers who have already submitted 12
applications to our restored committee, and for supporting our program to
continue honoring John's Bryant's legacy.
