There was a thread here back in March about AMSAT India's VO-52 operating award. It said that the first 50 certificates would be free, and that afterwards there would be a fee.
I assume by now the fee is in effect, but have not found any further info about the award on the www. AMSAT India's website apparently has not been updated since 2005.
Has anyone received one of these certificates? Anyone know the fee?

Hi Bill and all,
Here is the information you asked about. The day after it was posted, Tim, N3TL and I worked a contact and mailed the QSO information to the address below. We haven't heard anything since or received any mail. We feel sure we made the first 50 group, but no way of knowing at this time. I hope this helps.

Hello Pop,
Thank you for the reply. Does this mean that, if we send in a QSL card confirmation now, it is not necessary to send in any fee?
