Congrats JJ on your new Geratol number 2678. I know you worked hard for it and had a long wait for your last card to come in. AGAIN, CONGRATS.

Sorry to have to report there were two Geratoler Silent Keys reported in the January QST. WW7R J.B. AZ #1363 and K9NZ Perry IN #1355.

The reason that this is January and Not Feb. is due to the fact that I got My Feb. QST 2 or3 weeks ago and I just received my January QST today. Don’t know why just happened.

Dave KJ8V

I issued A new Geratol Number today. The Recipient has been notified and will be on the air tonight. Dave KJ8V AWARDS MANAGER
