My latest use of the new online application process produced the following results:<\/p>\n
10\/22 Monday:<\/strong> Date the envelope with my printed list of contacts was received at ARRL HQ – sent in by the local card checker That sure beats the old way of waiting months!! This is the only way that you can now submit cards to a local card checker or HQ; it required entering the card information into a computer database form (on the ARRL website) which is saved for your future use when you log out. I personally log each card on the form as I receive them until I make the decision to make an official card submittal through one of the three local card checkers. Here is the link to the ONLINE FORM.<\/strong><\/a> Try it! You will be amazed.<\/p>\n Steve K7AWB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdxa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
