Send me an IM with your callsign and the email address tied to it so I can verify you.

I have years of weekly signal reports posted in the HF net. Does that count?

Its also very hit and miss.

I have done it twice for my Military ( Army), Firefighter/EMT, and NRA Life... The AR icon is the only one that ever happened. ( So I know it works, and someone was paying attention).

I am confused by the fact that medicmandan is offering to add the icon for people, yet posts here seem to ignore that offer.

Don't confuse where I live with where I'm from.

Thanks for the "HAM icon thingy"! It took about a week before I saw it show up, after you said it was done. I did log out and back in, guess the system was just slow.

I just noticed, you can't see any of the icons on mobile, only on full site view.

That's why I forget there are icons. Pretty much 99.99% of my ARFCOM time is on my phone. A few times a year, I will Google something on my work desktop that leads me to ARFCOM. But since I'm not signed in, there's ads all over the place so I'm not sticking around long enough to notice.
