New blog for amateur radio awards...

In August of 2019, I started this new blog for amateur radio radio awards. The primary purpose is to keep a record of the various awards that I have collected over the years and to have a resource online for others interested in this subject.

It's something I've been thinking about for some time so I didn't just start it on the spur of the moment. I already have an existing amateur radio blog HERE so that might have seemed the obvious place to put this material.

The thing is that amateur radio awards is a pretty niche area of interest in what is already a pretty specialised hobby. I kind of wanted a site that would be about amateur radio awards and nothing else.
People that visit this site know what it is about and are visiting for that purpose. Most of the people that visit my main blog are probably not looking for a load of material and information on awards.

Hopefully over time, I will add more material but I may not be able to update it all the time. At the very least, I hope to create a resource that others may find of use.
