Subject: [VHF] K5UR Awarded FFMA #3It is with great pleasure that I announce that ARRL First Vice President
Rick Roderick, K5UR has achieved the #3 spot for the ARRL's Fred Fish
Memorial Award.
The "FFMA" is awarded to any Amateur that can confirm all 488 grid
squares in the 48 contiguous United States on 6 Meters. Fred Fish, W5FF
(SK) was the first Amateur to accomplish this feat. Rick is awarded FFMA
#3; FFMA #1 was awarded posthumously to Fred Fish himself. Rick becomes
only the third person to qualify for this prestigious award!
Roderick worked his last-needed grid, FN57, thanks to Daniel Dunphy in
New Brunswick, Canada. The QSL was received at ARRL HQ and approved by
the ARRL Awards Branch just moments ago.
More information on the Fred Fish Memorial Award can be found on the
ARRL web site at http://www.arrl.org/ffma
On behalf of everybody at ARRL Headquarters, congratulations, Rick!
