Karin will tell us which radios they support, how their software compares with utilities provided by the manufacturers, other companies as well as what's available as freeware, e.g., CHIRP.

The WAG Award is open to radio amateurs who can provide proof of two-way radio amateur radio contact with all 159 counties in the state of Georgia. This award is nice complement to the annual Georgia QSO Party, which in fact would be a good time to work on some of those hard-to-get counties. The award is embodied in a nice certificate.
