Castle Craig Basic Award
I have decided to change up the Castle Craig Certificate program a little to modernize it and bring it up to the way other chapters handle local members.
History - Since the beginning we have had two local categories, the Local Member and the Honorary Local Member. The difference being was the Local Members were members of MARC and the Honorary Members were amateurs in the local ground wave area who could work our nets but were not MARC members. These were hams that would work the QSO parties and credit Castle Craig with their scores. The basic point structure was the same a 4 Point Certificate.
The Changes - Effective immediately I am eliminating the Honorary Member category and making those Castle Craig Members full Members. This means that anyone in the local ground wave area that joins the chapter by working another member and had a number that end in "HL", example 1000 HL could drop the "H" and make it just 1000 L. The other member categories don't change, Honorary Charter, First State, or Country, DX, Other Certificates.
