"Finally, after eight months, W1AW can now boast the ARRL's newest award, the TPA," Carcia said. "What makes this so very cool is that we received this award on Hiram Percy Maxim's 140th birthday." The Triple Play Award is earned by hams who, after January 1, 2009, achieve Worked All States on three modes -- CW, SSB and Digital -- and upload their logs via Logbook of The World (LoTW).
