ARLA/CLUSTER: Todos os estados trabalhados em 1.2GHz

[Carlos Fonseca - CT1GFQ]

1296 MHZ WAS #1 AWARDED TO TEXAS HAM 

Al Ward, W5LUA, of Allen, Texas, is the first person to achieve the
ARRL's Worked All States (WAS) on 1296 MHz, making him 1296 MHz WAS #1.
Ward first started on his pursuit January 25, 1977, with his first 1296
MHz contact with Leroy May, W5HN (SK). His 30 year quest ended last
week, with confirmed contacts with Wyoming, Utah and Idaho, giving Ward
his last three needed states, thanks to Paul Perryman's, WA5WCP, EME
DXpedition. 

"I couldn't have done this without Paul," Ward said. "Also, thanks to
Ron Roche, K0ALL, and Barry Malowanchuk, VE4MA, in North Dakota for
number 47 in August. Without them, it just wouldn't have been possible."
After collecting his 50th QSL card, Ward drove from his home in Texas to
Little Rock, Arkansas so ARRL President Joel Harrison, W5ZN, could
verify his cards and complete his WAS paperwork. "Verifying QSL cards
from 30 years of activity brought back a lot of memories of several
stations active on 1296, many who are Silent Keys now," Harrison said.
