Glenn,
hmmm .. I was not talking about the very painful "lending out" of
plaques at Dayton (some plaques missed or with wrong data). I was
talking about the fact, that the results of the contests CQ/RJ WW
and the CQ/RJ WPX are not available for the public in a timely manner.
In our world of today, all serious contest sponsors, although many of
them are small groups with little money, are presenting the results
via the Web, accessible for everyone, a few months after the contest.
Many of this contest sponsors are sending out certificates and
sometimes more.
But the HAM's of the biggest and richest country in this world are
hiding the results in magazines, journals or on the Web, accessible
for "MEMBERS ONLY", for a very long time.
All the best, everyone has his own point of view, but the time has
changed!
