   Howdy! again Tom,   
      
   I was thinking along the same lines as your just wrote when I was   
   writing to You and Daryl about Ham Radio over the internet, but I   
   forgot to add that comment in my message on 02-21-15 .   
      
   I agree with Your thinking when it comes to applying for Awards.
