5BWAS award + alert?

I need 3 more band/slots for 5BWAS and would like to have an alert when a needed station appears in the cluster. Is this possible for me to construct myself, and if so, how?

Rick,
You should be able to set that up in the 'Alerts' manager by adding the bands and modes and selecting the WAS award, have you tried?
Not realy anything that can be changed in the awards but Alerts should work OK

I tried that but I don't see the WAS award listed under the "Awards" tab in the Alert Management window. Should I be looking somewhere else?

Rick,
Because we are not collecting state information in the cluster the WAS alert would not work, thats why its not in the list!
My best suggestion is to use HamAlert
https://hamalert.org/about then it can send you the WAS states required via email, SMS or telnet
Hopefully we will fill this gap soon

Thanks for taking the time to check into this. Unfortunately--according to the hamalert documentation, anyway--it doesn't give state breakdowns either.

Good to know. I was only going by what they say on their website. Thanks for the suggestion and followup.
