QCWA CELEBRATES ITS SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY!The Quarter Century Wireless Association has a cake in the oven and the ice cream churn is a-churnin' in anticipation of celebrating its 60th Diamond Anniversary! Time truly does fly! It was what seems like only yesterday that on November 14, 1947, during a 10-Meter roundtable QSO, the suggestion was made to form an association of ham radio operators that had been licensed for twenty-five years or more. The very next month, with that thought in mind, a group of hams met on Friday evening, December 5, 1947, in New York City. That evening, the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA) was born. In order to celebrate our Sixtieth Anniversary in grand style, the Quarter Century Wireless Association is pleased to announce a new, limited availability, operating Award to celebrate this momentous occasion known as the: This Award is unique in that it represents the first Award of its type offered by the QCWA.
