IMHO the best motivator in the contesting world is the reward at the end for
being the best op/best station. Conversely the best demoralizer is to give
an 'also-ran' an award when another station fairly & squarely earned that
award.
So my vote is: If a station/op earns 10 plaques then he should get all 10
plaques, regardless of who/what/when/where/why he is, or is not. Then we all
can sit back and watch a whole bunch of new towers/aerials go up and the
radio stores will sell a bunch more amps. Everybody wins when you do it
right.
Just my -2cents worth.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] WPX Plaques - Who should win them?
Let's not confuse things. The CQ Contests no longer have the policy that a
plaque winner one year can not win the next year.
This discussion is only about whether a station should win all plaques they
qualified for or whether they should only win the highest level plaque and
the second place finisher takes the next level.
Keep the input coming. This is very helpful discussion.
