I worked quite a few of them, but definitely not every state.

I didn't bother.
I put a few of them in my logbook but only if they were interesting. If it had been, for example, some time since I worked Wyoming and they were there I worked them. |

I was able to work all 50 states and the territories. I really enjoyed chasing those contacts.

I really enjoyed chasing those contacts. Me too. The fun thing about it, was that there was always someone to contact every time I turned on the radio. No DX.....just go chase the ARRL stations. I ended up having 496 QSOs with the W1AW/P stations, just because they were on the air all the time. This year, the bands seem kind of quiet on most days. |

My first ever QSO was the Centennial Party, Satellite (SO-50!). And, the only QSO with that call. So, I'm very interested in getting the card. Thanks for the reminder.

I wish I would have kept logs of those stations. But alas, my rule is to not log when I'm mobile and alone in the car.

Just a heads up.....
If anyone has ordered the certificates, mine have arrived. Got the points challenge certificate about a week ago, and the WAS certificate today. |
