250th Anniversary of the United States of America - QRZ Award Earned!

Today, I earned the QRZ award that began on January 1, 2026, called the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. I completed more than the required 250 US radio contacts on January 2, 2026; though, it took until 2026-01-05 18:48:37 to reach 250 confirmed contacts and earn the award. I am the 180th radio amateur to earn the award.

NJ2X was among the first 180 people to earn the award



A big THANK YOU to QRZ for promoting amateur radio by sponsoring innovative and fun awards. I really enjoyed kicking off the New Year by celebrating the birth of our great nation with amateur radio. I am looking forward to helping other radio amateurs earn this award by answering their calls, logging and confirming the contacts. See you on the radio.


Good DX and 73, NJ2X
