My ARRL Worked All States Phone certificate arrived in the mail!

Now to find a frame for it and put it up in the shack.

With W1AW/7 (Nevada) finally showing up in Logbook of the World, I’ve now unlocked the Worked All States(Phone) achievement!

WAS wasn’t something I was actively chasing until the ARRL Centennial QSO Party started up. While chasing the W1AW/n portable stations, I took a closer look at my WAS status and saw that I was getting pretty close, so I decided to start chasing states and working towards the WAS certificate.

These are the calls that helped me get to WAS/Phone (some of you people from Twitter are in here!).

Now to start working on WAS/Digital. Only 9 states left for that one.

After a bit of poking around in ARRL’s Logbook of the World (LotW), I discovered that I’m a lot closer to getting Worked All States (Basic) than I thought. I only need to make contacts in three more states: Mississippi, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Then I’ll have made contacts with at least one person in every state.

More wallpaper for the shack!

Update 2014-02-10: KB8BIP (WV) confirmed in LotW! Two more to go!
