True story....Back in my Aerospace/Defense Contractor days, we had a "Quality
Improvement" team in place. The big bosses awarded the team leader a plaque for
doing such a great job. The mounting hole drilled in the Quality Improvement
plaque was on the wrong end; so of course it hung upside down. He left it that
way for years.

Andy; I prefer to keep my special "upside down" version, which now hangs
proudly on my shack wall! I was just trying to figure out if they were all that
way, or just mine...... As an ex-patriot of CA, (and the NCCC....), I found it
really funny. Hope to put up a better score in CQP 2009 as I have a much bigger
antenna farm this year. Who knows, maybe you guys will have the Oregon state
map on next year's awards! ;-). 73! Mike Ritz, W7VO Scappoose, OR www.w7vo.com

the official CQP certificate printer, so if you would like it reprinted and a
new one sent to you, just let me know. On the other hand, you could have a
valuable collector's item, like the famous "inverted biplane" airmail stamps,
that will only increase in value over the years.... 73, and
