What is WAMO??



 
WAMO means worked all members once.

Upon joining the club, You are issued a WAMO number. You may then exchange the numbers with other club members on any amateur mode. However, it must be a live contact, packet mailboxes or other digital mode storage is not permitted. When contacting another member, the WAMO number, callisgn, and name of the member must be exchanged with each person making the contact. Certificates are given for the first twenty contacts made, then for each one hundred after that. At five hundred contacts, in addition to the certificate, you also get a plaque. At eight hundred contacts, not only do you get the certificate, and plaque, but you also get a gift certificate for dinner for two. How do I play?? First off, you must be a member of the club. Then, just join in on all the fun.

Rules:
The AMATEUR RADIO CLUB OF EL CAJON presents…

W.A.M.O.
Worked All Members Once AWARD

A.  WAMO Award is given by the Amateur Radio Club of El Cajon to all fellow amateurs in San Diego County who can successfully work 20 active ARC of EC members  in good standing at the time they are worked.
B.  WAMO Award is given to those amateurs who are not in San Diego County but successfully work 10 members in the ARC of El Cajon; who are in good standing at the time of contact.
A contact shall be valid when you successfully QSO a member of the club. All WAMO! contacts are with members  not necessarily with his station call.   If you ;should work a member  who is legally operating another station under a different call sign from his own, you may count that QSO as a valid WAMO! Contact. A valid  contact must be with a member who is responsible for the operation of that station at the time you work him. You may not count other members as a WAMO! Contact if they are just "visiting" or are not the official operator of that station.
The contact will be invalid if either operator is operating in violation of FCC rules and regulations at the time of the contact. All WAMO! contacts must be initiated via Amateur Radio.
Only one contact with each member will count toward the WAMO! Award, regardless of the band or mode of subsequent contacts.
After reaching WAMO! status (making enough contacts to Qualify in A. or B. above), you may then begin to work toward endorsements. Endorsement stickers will be given for each group of 5 additional members worked, regardless of whether you reached WAMO! at 10 or 20 contacts.
WAMO! Awards and endorsements are given only at the regularly-scheduled monthly meetings of the club, providing the recipient lives within a 25-mile radius of El Cajon. Those amateurs achieving WAMO! status who live outside the 25-mile radius of El Cajon may apply for the Award by mail.
All WAMO! Awards are numbered numerically and sequentially, beginning with the first award. The earliest log date will determine the next number when more than one Award is to be given at any one time.
All decisions concerning this Award shall be made by the WAMO! Committee. Final judgement as to the validity of the contacts shall be at the full discretion of said committee. The oficial rules are as stated within this log.
WAMO! logs shall be provided by the club. Other logs are acceptable, providing the following information is given for each contact made.
