Greetings from all of us at the Bay Area
Chapter and welcome! There are two types of memberships to the Bay Area
Chapter of Ten Ten International: Local and Non-Local members. Members
who live around the Bay Area and check into our Monday evening net five
times receive a Local Bay Area certificate. This certificate carries a
number between 1 and 4000. Other members, especially those remote who cannot
check into the net, receive a Non-Local certificate. Before April of 1993,
non local certificates were unnumbered. Beginning that April, they were
numbered starting at 4000. Existing Non-Local members (those who joined
before April 1993 and received a certificate without a number), can apply
for a number free of charge by contacting the certificate manager for the
basic award.
Other Bay Area awards include the 49er,
the Gold Nugget and the Grand Award. As with all Ten Ten chapters, a copy
of your paid-up dues card must be included with all applications. It will
be returned to you along with your number and certificate.
When applying for basic membership,
you have the option of either receiving our handsome certificates which
range from $2.00 to $3.50 for the Grand Award, or just receiving a number
which is free. Whether your a Local or Non-Local member, your point value
to other stations is the same regardless of whether you have a physical
certificate. Membership in the chapter is what's important. Applications
for membership without the certificate requires the same documentation
as with, except for your payment. If you elect not to purchase the certificates,
you still must include an SASE to have your information and number returned
to you.
The requirements for the Basic, 49er, Gold Nugget, and Grand Award Certificate are as follows:
