The ARRL issued Triple Pay #936 to me today. A fun factoid is that a good ham radio friend of mine, Dave, WB4KDI, was issued his just a day earlier. I sort of goofed up in the submission process, asking for WAS-Phone before WAS-Triple Play, otherwise, Dave and I would have been side by side.
Way to go Bob! Its very exciting to be in the first 1000 for any ARRL award. Welcome to the club.
de W7JET Triple Play WAS #821
Hey Brian,
Thanks very much. You are right and that was the plan for this year (to get it before it rolled over 1000). Now I can shift my attention to 80 meters which is the band I have left for both 5BWAS and 5BDXCC.
I think you and I have worked multiple times on JT65 on various bands. No doubt our paths will cross again.
73, Bob, WB4SON
Bob,
Yes we have and you were #50 for me on 40m phone. I am down to 3 states on 10m for 5b WAS and seeking ME on 160m for WAS . Good luck with 80m let me know if you need Arizona anyplace.

Hi Bob, you’re not in my log yet, but I’m also very active in lots of modes/bands, so I’m sure you will be at some point. Brian, I’m pretty sure you were part of my triple-play submission (#850). Agreed about how cool it is to be triple-digit. Just a few days left for that distinction, I suspect.
Thanks Bill,
Sorry we haven’t bumped into each other yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t — just a matter of time. Meanwhile Cycle 24 just keeps rolling along (sort of weakly rolling), extending our opportunity for DX. 73! Bob
