Triple H Net Annual QSO Party

18th Annual QSO Party

The annual Triple H Net QSO Party was held on the evening of December 31, 2007
(January 1, 2008 UT), on the normal operating frequency of 7235 Khz (+/- QRM). The
party started at 0600 Z instead of the normal 0700 Z time.  This annual QSO 
party was for members only: Those that have a Worked All States certificate number 
issued by the Triple H Net.  There have been 873 certificates issued since 1979.  
The 2007 QSO Party had 47 members in 26 different states, along with 4 different 
DXCC countries check-in.  There were a total of 81 QSO's made.  The event lasted 3 
hours and 25 minutes.

HONORS

The annual QSO Party is where special honors are awarded to members for the year.  
They are recognitions for special efforts by members in keeping the Net not only 
operational, but for keeping the true spirit of the Net; a Worked All States and DX 
Assistance Net.  The HHH really stands for "Hank's Helping Hand", after the Net 
founder, W2LTP, Hank Greenburg.  It's for this reason we strive to 'welcome', 
'invite', and 'assist' new hams, as well as those of us that have been around awhile 
to feel the 'family' nature of the Triple H Net.  Remember, we all started as 'new 
hams' sometime...wasn't it nice to run into a bunch of helpful hams to assist your 
first experiences in ham radio.?

The annual awards are given to any member (Worked All States Certificate holder) who 
truly demonstrates and exercises those beliefs in helping others.  The BIG award is 
for the HAM OF THE YEAR.  This honor is given by nomination of the Net membership, 
but only to one who has not been so honored in the past.  See Past Honors for all 
previous recognitions issued.

TRIPLE H NET STORE

Remember that since the Triple H Net is a non-profit type organization, all monies 
charged for any kind of item is for the cost, such as printing, copying, and mailing 
expenses.  Most of these charges barely pay for the actual materials used, but I 
would rather under-charge than accumulate extra monies to account for.  Many of our 
participants make unsolicited donations from time to time, and necessary materials 
used are purchased in quantities for cost saving and efficient use of all monies 
received.

MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATE

Anyone who gets a Worked All States certificate (and number), may request a 'Life 
Membership Certificate' for $2, no SASE.  (All Net certificates are mailed flat.

ANNIVERSARY STICKERS - 32 YEARS (2008)

Every year the Net has 'anniversary stickers' printed for use by its membership on 
QSL cards and any related correspondence.  These stickers are printed in Illinois,
by the Stephen Fossler Company ...what I really consider to be the very best in the 
business!  These annual stickers must be ordered in a relatively large quantity to 
keep the cost down.  I offer them at actual cost, plus postage to send them to you.  
The stickers are 1 1/2 X 1 3/4 inches in size, and indicate the year honored...now 
'32'.  I still have some for 2000, and I have just received the new stickers for 2007.
I ordered 500 of them, and charge only $1.50 for 10 stickers, which includes my special
envelope I use to send them in, as well as the cost of postage.  I limit any one
order to 50 stickers ($7.50), since I only have 500 to start with.

I still have a few stickers for the past years 1992-2005 (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24
25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 years).  These are offered at the same cost as above.  
Each year uses a different color.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP STICKERS



These new 'Life Membership' stickers are from the same company, and are now available
for members only at a cost of $2 for 10 stickers.  NOW BACK IN STOCK!!


 CLOISONNE LAPEL PIN

I have received the 200 Triple H Net lapel pins featuring the HHH Logo made by the
Lapel Pin, Inc.  It is a quality pin approximately 1 inch long with the 'HHH' logo
and the red arrow.  If you are a member of the Triple H Net, and you have already
reserved a pin, the cost is $8 for one $13 for two and $18 for three.  Maximum is
three!  Checks made out to James W. Young.  The cost includes a special mailer and
insert to protect the pin.  Non-members can obtain one pin for $10.  Contact W7FTT
for further details.
