I guess I was miss understood. I agree 100% with adding the CW only
category. I have been suggesting this for several years. I understood the
proposal
was to only give certificates to the SSB only and CW only categories. The
proposal stated:

I disagreed with this and would want to see plaques provided equally for all
three categories. This assumes we can get adequate sponsors.

I agree, I have been suggesting this to Mike for months.
There is no doubt that adding the additional categories will increase
participation. That is the point I was making.
