CQ, as the successor to old Radio, announces the resumption of W.A.Z. honor roll listing in the editorial pages of our mazgaine. In addition, a handsome certificate suitably inscribed will be awarded to any station proving two-way communications with each of the forty established zones. Certificates will be numbered as issued.
