Gentlemen,
A suggested agenda item for discussion and action: Plaque Sponsorship
I’ve had some correspondence with Bart W9JJ ARRL Contest Branch Manager. He’s provided me with a fairly comprehensive list of currently un-sponsored plaques for 2016 ARRL RTTY and 2016 ARRL DX (CW and SSB). Of the categories that are available:
– 2016 ARRL RTTY. I recommend we sponsor the plaque for NE Division Single Operator High Power. Second choice would be NE Division Multioperator Low Power.
– 2016 ARRL DX. I recommend North America Single Operator High Power Phone. Second choice North America Multi-multi Phone. Third: NA SO LP CW.
I’ve some data on 2016 SS but not enough to make a recommendation.

p.s. Bart W9JJ sends his best personal regards to Johns XX and AN.
Can’t make the meeting today but here’s my proxy. For ARRL RTTY RU, I vote for NE Division SOHP. (I really don’t think there would be an awful lot of entries in NE Division Multi LP)
Second, ARRL DX, I would vote for (naturally) ARRL NA SOLP CW.

Thanks to Jim K1SD for spearheading this effort in honor of our friend and club member Chris KA1GEU(SK). Chris was an SSB and RTTY guy… so my choice is SO HP in each of those modes as ‘SD has suggested. Chris liked his Amplifier ‘on’ as well! 73, Bill W1WBB (away this wknd)
