Feld Hell Club membership certificate. It seems that I have been a member (FH #0096) since the early days of the society but I had forgotten about it. It was discovered by Ron W4ALE (Membership Manager) when I applied for membership yesterday! I used to operate in Feld Hell mode using IZ8BLY Helschreiber program, but recently I had to switch to fldigi, which supports COM ports above COM4. The CAT port of my Icom IC-7100 shows up as COM7.

The RSGB 50 MHz countries award certificate #184, with 10, 20 and 30 countries endorsement stickers. This award is now called the "2-Way Countries Award".

The RSGB 50 MHz DX certificate #72, with the 25 countries endorsement sticker. This award (now called "DX Countries Award") allows cross-band QSOs, where the other station uses another frequency band, usually 28 MHz.

The certificate of my 50 MHz Squares award #133, issued by the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) in 2002. You see I have always been a fan of collecting locator squares, the hard thing on VHF is securing QSL and/or LoTW confirmations...
