Hi, Even as most of us prepare for Dayton, things are happening here inside HQ. The MVP Department has a new design for the WAS and 5 Band WAS certificates that is more modern looking and better reflects the current ARRL branding. All current WAS applications will be issued the new certificate. We will formally announce the new design on the web shortly. Norm Fusaro has been leading this effort on the MVP side and Diane Szlachetka of Business Services designed the new certificate. Existing WAS award holders may order the new style certificate for a charge of $10. The certificate is, obviously, not downloadable because we verify the QSL cards before issuing the award.
