Just got a certificate in the mail for the June 2002 VHF contest. It's been a
few years since I have received one. Unlike the others I have framed on my
wall, this one is suitable for filing, not framing...
1. Printed on white computer paper
2. Dominated by a BW photo of an EME dish. This for a contest that, if
dominated by anything, might be 6 meters sporatic E. The ratio of terrestrial
contacts to EME contacts made in this contest is probably about a 1000 to 1. A
giant EME dish pointing up, is not what this particular VHF contest is all
about.
3. Overall plain appearance.
But, on the bright side, it is not nearly as ugly as the new QRP DXCC award.
