Hi,

Promized thing, due thing (or something like that, sorry)

There are some years the US company Westid sold an electroplated badge for
radio amateurs showing your callsign. The owner being silent key, the
business stopped with him.
See my first review at http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2668

During some months I searched for a new manufacturer able to make the same
product with the same quality, features and options for the lower cost as
possible and without no participation from myself.

After discussion, the company MAXSELL friendly accepted to resume the
business.
That was not easy because we had to find a way to reproduce the original
design showing a hamshack or to find back the original "master dye".
Hopefully MAXSELL investigated and an agreement was found with the previous
designer.

So, to all of you who contacted me last year and this year about this badge,
and how to get the new one, I can now tell you that the badge is available
again on electroplated support, gold or silver, text in blue, black or red
with any custom comment.
See at http://www.maxsell.com/radio_badge.htm

For all non-US readers, and specially for European hams, add about $18 for
the shipment and insurance.

At my knowledge this is the only company that provides such a product for
the ham community.

and retrieved without displaying the badge. Our most popular law enforcement
model."
