I asked ARRL when we might expect our 2016 gavel, here's their response. February.

Perhaps we should have them put something into the by-laws to get them out sooner hi hi.

Subject: 2016 November Sweepstakes Gavel shipping?

I'm the President of the Mother Lode DX/Contest Club and we won the Medium Club category in the 2016 Sweepstakes (2nd year in a row!) When we won in 2015 I received the gavel in early November of 2016. I have not yet received the gavel for winning the 2016 contest. I've had club members request to hold the gavel. Would you happen to know when it will be mailed?

Thank you!
