We encourage all BVRC members with General license class and above privileges to, if you wish, enjoy pursuing this award for the second half of 2023.  The current Solar Cycle #25 is still on the upswing and will reach maximum activity around Sept.-Oct. of next year.  This means the bands should be in great propagation condition to easily work all 50 states and, for some of you, achieve your first WAS (Worked All States) award! 

For the Rules of this new award, see this PDF.

Best wishes on having a fun “50 state chase” for the remainder of our anniversary year, and thanks for being a BVRC member!
