ATTENTION! ATTENTION! TO ALL OF MY AIR MOBILE CONTACTS ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

As of Feb 2009, I have mailed out ALL Certificates to the stations that sent me a QSL card.

Also, persons missing the UTC or Z time from your certs was intentional. Due to unmatched UTC or Z time.

I am still waiting on 70+ other QSL cards. I have moved to my current QTH as noted above. Please send $3.00 for postage for your certificates after this date.  These are 8 x 10 full color certificates.

Thanks for any and all donations of stamps, money, etc...

Thanks to all of the 115 Air Mobile contacts that I made on 28 April 2008. Your certs are on their way. During the hours of 1900z to 2315z, I accomplished: WAZ.
