I've been pouring over "On The Ultra Highs" by Kevin Kaufhold, W9GKA. This is a 
wonderful, concise history of VHF/UHF Weak Signal work as told in the pages of 
QST Magazine, and many other sources. 

In that article, a reference is made to "participation pins" for amateurs who 
entered ARRL VHF Contests in the 1990's. I've never seen one of these and would 
love to get a look at them. Does anyone have one that they could scan and post? 

I can see references for these as late as 1999 by doing Google searches, but 
can't seem to find any photos of them. I'm really fascinated with the history 
of the VHF bands, and love this stuff. I just bought a Heathkit "Twoer" to 
start my VHF collection!
